US OPEN TENNIS

The ball is hit back and forth with a small paddle shaped racket or bat by the players till one of them misses. The composition and structure of the bat determines a great deal the outcome of a game. Paddles with differing qualities have been invented for players with different playing styles. You have to find out your strong and weak points with regard to the game before going out to buy one. The racket you are using should suit your playing style. Paddles come in different shapes but oval shape is the most common and preferred. Wood is the most commonly used material for manufacturing these paddles. The face of the bat is made with rubber or sponge which is either smooth or pimpled in texture. As per the guidelines of the International Table Tennis Association, the maximum thickness of this coating should not exceed four millimeters on any part of the racket. Different kinds of paddles offer different levels of friction and playing properties. The color, structure, smoothness of sur …

Hours and hours on the beach doing nothing doesn’t work for me. I wish it did but it doesn’t. If the waves are good I can do a bit of body surfing but sometimes the waves are too small, too big or the currents are too strong. There’s no lack of vollyball on the beaches of Rio but the problem here is finding an availible net as well as enough friends to make for an interesting game. For me, the ultimate beach activity is “fresco”. All you need are two small paddles, a rubberball and someone to play with and you are good to go. It s a game with no points and no winners. Yet there is a sense of competing together with your partner against the chaotic universe of ball bouincing elements. The goal being to reach a steady rally back and forth. A steady rally that I am willing to call meditative or theuraputic. The aim of the game Fresco is a game for everyone. There are some players that may have more skill and experience than others. However, it’s fun no matter who is playing with who. You …

Some say “Ping-Pang” was the first name of the game because it sounded like the words spoken in the Chinese language in the 7th Century, which later evolved to “Ping Pong.” By the 8th Century, the game began to spread to India, Persia and ultimately to the West. These early games were played by hitting a dried Chinese fruit called a lichee. Others say that the sound heard when playing ping pong on European rackets (made of pieces of paper stretched on a frame) resulted first in the nickname of “Whiff-Whaff” and later “Ping-Pong.” In Europe many people believe ping pong was invented by army officers who used rounded wine corks for balls and old cigar boxes as paddles. Ping pong remained popular as a party game for rich people in England until it officially became a competitive sport in 1927. Eventually, the popularity of ping pong in Europe led game manufacturers to sell ping pong equipment commercially, at first under the name “Gossima.” But the name “Ping-Pong” was already widely use …

In Brazil it’s called frescoball and it is one of the sports that the city claims was invented here. Although that claim is debatable, it’s not debatable that this is one the best beach activities that exists. Resting for the restless I’m one of those people that gets restless sitting still. Hours and hours on the beach doing nothing doesn’t work for me. I wish it did but it doesn’t.
