Him I'm 23 years old and I want to start playing in a more competitive way, also I want to improve my technique because I play mostly for fun, is there any way to start getting in the sport at this age? or is it better to keep it outside of the competitive and technical game?

Thanks

Hi Juan,

I always say that this game is one that you can play for a very long time.  There are competitions for players right up to Over 90 years old... so you have quite a few years to work on your game.wink

A guy I know is the top player in his grade, he is in his 90's. The old players are very sneaky with years of experience.

I also know some players who are close to 100 and can beat about 70 years younger fast players.
