You play badminton though?

I used to play for my county at tennis, badminton and squash, I'm not that standard now but I'm pretty good :smile:

^^ really?! :zomg: I suck at sports though :frown:

Because my wrists are really weak:emo:

You can always improve, and you can't really complain cause you're super intelligent so it wouldn't be fair for you to be good at sports as well :lol:

I'm bad at sports which require hand strength :lol: but I really like tennis:frown:

So football I'm actually okay at!

And I'm not that smart...

Singing, music and art :mmm:

I have big, strong hands, yeah the wrist is probably the most important thing for badminton, tennis is more of a whole arm sport...

've never really played football properly :dontknow:

There will always be smarter people but you're pretty high up the list compared to a lot of people :mmm:

I used to prefer badminton to tennis but I'm starting to prefer tennis now...

you have no muscle or what? inbefore do you even lift bro? :rofl:

It's one sport I would have liked to have played more when I was younger :moon:

You know it :tongue: :mmm:

You're really good at art! :ahee:

Like I'm ok if I'm given a picture and have to copy it but drawing anything from scratch you won't even know what I'm trying to draw, even a simple object :lol:

Music I had to do by memory, I couldn't read music at all. I'd have to practise for ages to do even a simple tune and I'd still make mistakes :/ :colondollar:

^ that looks deformed :ahee:

Can't complain... You play sports :colonhash:

Thanks :colondollar:

Aaah, I see! That's not bad then :smile:

Memory is awesome! :biggrin: it's nice too, but I.think.reading sheet music would make it easier.for.new melodies
No-one can be as bad as me at art, my storyboards are always good for a laugh.

I'm good at doubles, I don't really play singles very much...

looks very normal to me :dontknow: most of the power you get from tennis is actually timing rather than strength, if you hit the ball on the sweet spot of the racket it will always go a reasonable distance :smile:

Yeah I know :mmm:

MY short term memory is so bad, but my mid-longer type memory is pretty good :ahee:
Learning a piece of music they day before didn't work too well though :erm:

I think if I played tennis doubles, I'd piss of my partner too much :ahee:

Fair enough, aah, timing I can do :colone: all that maths actually helps :tongue:

The day before?:lol: what instrument?

I never get annoyed with my partner, just myself :mmm: Although it was a bit frustrating the other day when we were playing a competitive mens match against a top division team and we were winning, and then my partner does 4 double faults on his service game and effectively hands them the match :laugh

3D trigonometric mechanics :awesome:

Recorder :teehee:

Oh wow :mmm: I'd be slightly annoyed at that :colone:

How do you return such fast serves?:redface:

:ahee: :sogood:

Haha. I can't take recorders seriously :mmm:

He played well overall though and we beat their other pair so it's all good :h:

My forehand is like awesome, I can return almost anything with a hard shot back with it but my backhand is much much weaker and I'll just do a slice block return high into the airwith it, takes some practise but once you know how to do it it's pretty easy :yep:

Nor could I, that was kinda the problem :teehee:

:awesome: Tsonga had to pull out:frown:

So jelly :ahee: I find my grip is weak and my bat would fly off if I tried to one handedly return the ball with a back hand :colondollar: (this was years ago)

:rofl:
I hate Wimbledon... and tennis for that matter. :colone:

I like Tsonga as a player, hard hitter like me xD

You probably need a new grip if you're having that problem, it would be difficult to let go of your racket mid-shot if you had a decent grip on it...
And it's called a racket :colonhash: :tongue:
