We got some ping pong lessons today. Mike and I had been playing each other daily for the last few weeks, and we were at the point that we thought we might be able to hold our own (or at least not get destroyed) by the local engineers.
Not the case.
A really nice engineer, Xinjie, took pity on us during our match today to give us some tips. He showed us the proper way to serve. Its crazy, see below:
He proceeded to spank me 21-8 (5 of my points were earned when he was kind enough to serve the spin-free way) and Mike probably as bad. Mike and I have vowed to work on our wrist action until we can give the worst engineer in the office a close game.
