Table Tennis Skills - Slowly Building

 Here's me working on my forehand in November 2025:

And here is what I look like playing at the Butterfly tournament at BTTC - Broward Table Tennis Center -  against Jorge Santiago. July 26, 2025. It's certainly nothing to write home about but it's better than it was.  I've stopped making videos at tournements since I think it's distracting.

Here's my rating after the Jan 2026 Tournement at BTTC. I was 5-3 on the Friday night. I feel that I belong at about 1200 at this point but of course, I need to do more winning (and less losing) to get there. My plan (or ambition) is to add 100 points per year up to about 1600 when I suspect that I'll max out.  So the goal (assuming I belong at 1200 now) is to get to 1300 in Jan 2027.  First step: Fix my back so I can play for more than an hour without pain.

Here's my rating at the start of 2026. It had dropped :-<
