is a dilemna I face everytime (or almost) I play table tennis. I have played competitive table tennis over a few years and am quite an advanced player. My game is not as polished and consistent as it used to be, but it is still good. Lot of my friends, colleagues, family claim that they are quite good and want to play a game. Sure, why not! The problem is that I know I can crush them, but by doing so I will also quell their interest in the game. Generally, I adjust my game to make the game more competitive -- by playing with the other hand, or give a handicap, or restraining my game by not smashing. This results in an exciting game fun for both the players. Some players realize that I am just playing with them.
But, there are a few who don't realize that. I once played easy with a friend of mine, who now claims that he can beat me because he's been practicing. I would like to set the record straight by beating the shit out of him. However, the problem is that'll have to wait because of our different geographic locations.
Because of this experience I face this dilemna everytime I pick up my racquet.
