A new try

Yesterday i was out playing tennis. My last attempt was back in high school and actually just had a couple of swings and gave up. This time, i started off from the basics, ran a couple of warm up drills, and then played some doubles with my friends. Tennis looks quite easy on TV, but when actually doing it, the swing feels a lot different. Especially since i played a lot of badminton before, i tend to swing my racket differently and use a lot of wrist. Whereas in tennis, you keep the racket flat and not snapping the wrist at all. I found the toughest things were the spacing and the timing of the swing, which i really had a tough time with the whole day.

Overall, it was an interesting experience just to try out something new. Maybe i'll fall in love with tennis one day, you never know :)
