1st time Tennis experience

After so many years, I finally get my hand on a tennis racquet, all this while tennis, is something that I actually not very familiar with, cept wathching it over the television set, or even reading some comic bout playing tennis, or even hooked on the com game (which is wat happen now .. )

Thanks alot PeiWen for taking all the trouble come to my house and pick me up early in the morning, and really really sorry that I mixed up the time .. and =P not to mention .. woke up after u called. Step into the tennis court, nothing is new to me, stepped in before last time, just for fun .. but is really my 1st time holding a racquet, and realise there is diff type of tennis racquet that is available. Okie .. u cant blame me for that ok, in badminton the only diff is maybe the grip of the string and thats all, in badminton they do haf another type of racquet, but is not allowed to use in competition and no point buying it as well. So looking at the diff type of tennis racquet .. really new to me. Not to mention bout the racquet, even the there is diff type of tennis ball, do u just call them as tennis ball or they haf a better name ? Oh well, fact is .. today coz is my very 1st time actually going to hit a tennis ball, so is a soft ball .. are they all soft ball ?? lol ..

Start with some basic bout how u hold a racquet .. how u swing it .. and so on .. having hard time to adjust myself from badminton - using wrist strength, to tennis - using whole arm to swing. Well ... I non stop letting the ball goes flying over the entire court ,and having hard time to keep the ball down. Is mainly because, I keep on swing it halfway .. and leaving the racquet points up and wide open, bleeeeeergh ! Not to mention having 3 balls fly outside the fence . ... paiseh !!!!!

After an hour plus of playing ... get to tried how u serve at the right way ... got the strength there I guess .. but =/ the ball landed on my side before bounce over. . so yeah .. failed. and still ... I cant really control where the ball goes .. and again, flying balls over the entire court til the fence there .. and my backhand just cant get to whack any ball yet .. lol

Not bad experience !! Should try more next time .. and haf to remind me to really swing it. Thanks alot for teaching me PeiWen !

ps : and thanks for the breakfast as well =)
