A Few Little Updates...

Hi guys


Well good news....all the hard work paid off! The club want me to join, so I have upped my stakes. I am practicing more and more now - I have a couple of sprains (mainly in my wrist *sad face*)

I have been looking around for ages for some grips from Carlton, alas, they were boring and either black or white. So I decided to go with Karakal (so I know I have a Carlton Racket/Yehlex Bag and now Karakal grips...but....so what?!  - also nice and cheap off of Ebay!!)

I received them in the post today, having a day off was giving me grief as I had nothing to do, so I settled down and had a go at re-gripping!....

I know its a little bit uneven, the finishing tape they provided was pants, so I used some insulating tape and sliced down the middle making it thinner ( I had a look at the how the original grip had been applied to the racket) and found it ALOTeasier to apply to the top of the handle. It took a while and the cogs of my brain were proper churning, but in the end I got it 

Eeeek! Very Nervous :-(

I am really worried, I got a text from the organiser at the club I am *hoping* to join yesterday saying this week is my final week of like probation and she said that (and I knew this anyway) that the club is very competitive (no like social players there etc- and I do want to compete so its fine) so they would review it with the members there and see if they would like me to join properly.



God I am nervous, I really really want to join and they know how much I have improved, I just don't know if it is enough  If they say no I will be crushed 

Any moral boosting tips would be REALLY appreciative now....
