Sorta want to join a ping pong club irl

[Naer]

problem is i would have to take public transportation to get there. also, another thing i fear is when i actually get there, people are unenthusiastic about the table sport or It's dead or empty, thus making my trip there a waste and crushing my hopes of getting into a sport with people irl

 

[IronWing]

Edit: Put on your I like to paddle my balls t-shirt and get with, sport.

Based on the crap the op generally posts, he already belongs to a ding-dong club...and might be the president of the club.

Penhold is different than Japanese. On the back side you spread your fingers in Japanese style, Chinese style the fingers are stacked together like grabbing a pen, thus penhold.
