Table top air hockey is something I remember from my childhood. My friend had an air hockey table that made me jealous, until Santa finally came through for me one year and I got my own. Until then I would go over to my friend’s house to play. I never wanted to stop. The swoosh of the puck, and the thrill I felt when I scored, made the game fun and exciting. There was just something amazing to me about the way the puck would float across the surface with the slightest tap from the mallet. And that sound it would make against the sides of the table and handles is indelibly impressed in my memory. Clickity, clack, clack, clack, followed by an explosion of victory and defeat at both ends of the table.

Since those early years I’ve seen a variety of styles of table top air hockey. Some hockey tables do not have forced air, but then they are usually referred to as slide tables. An air hockey table has air that is blown out onto the surface with a small motorized fan. This makes the puck float and move much quicker. It is a game of reflexes and anticipation. I remember feeling like the king of the world when I could get one past my Dad. He seemed undefeatable. I always wondered if he was just letting me win, but I didn’t care.

Speaking of memories: my third grade teacher had a type of hockey game that the janitor made for us to use. We played it on the ground outside at recess. It was the kind of game that in which two people could really compete. Can’t you just picture it: two third graders - kid to kid, facing off to determine who would have bragging rights until the next day. To the victor went all the glory. Serious stuff, funny stuff. This hockey game wasn’t atable top air hockey game, but was really fun to play anyway. Sort of a variation on a theme. It was made out of 2×4 lumber with a plywood bottom. It was a rectangle about four feet long and about two feet wide, maybe a bit more. It had a divider across the middle with a cutout in it so the puck (also made out of wood) could fit through it onto your opponent’s side. At each end of the box there was a cutout that allowed the puck to escape, thus resulting in a one point score. Both players had a three foot stick to use to frantically chase the puck around with. You would start the game by placing the puck up on the center divider and hit your sticks together to the count of three, then go at it until someone scored.

Tarpon is essentially the comparison fish to the northern Bass. The fights are relatively quite similar; however, the odds are that the Tarpon will certainly be considerably larger. The fight will be something to be remembered. Just ask any fisherman that has experienced these epic battles and they will certainly tell you that they are a tough and exciting fight. And, there are many Florida Tarpon fishing charters that cater to this. Many charters are catered directly to tourists who are visiting Florida and would like to take advantage of the situation.

The shear size possibilities of this large scaled silver fish are basically endless. They have been known to reach eight feet in length and weight over three hundred and fifty pounds. Therefore, this is a fish that many Bass fishermen have never had the opportunity fish for and they will relish the opportunity when it does come around. Many will jump at the chance of fishing in the open Atlantic Ocean for such a massive fish. Coincidentally, in May of two thousand and one, Captain Steve Kirkpatrick led Jim Holland Jr. one a record setting journey. Holland Jr. used a fly fishing pole to pull in a whopping two hundred and two pound fish. However, not everyone catches a fish this large but, this should at least give one an idea as to what they can expect.

Regardless, as Captain Kirkpatrick had, the many captains that offer these Tarpon Fishing charters know where to get the fish in Florida and these locations are a time honored tradition that has proven results time and time again. The tackle and pole is included in the charter and they, many times, will even bait your line as well as clean your catch.

Tennis is a fun and exciting sport for people of all ages. There is very little equipment necessary in order to play tennis, but what there is, is extremely important. When you begin to play or learn tennis, you will need a place to play and practice. Many schools have tennis courts which you should be able to use when school isnt in session. You can also find courts at local parks, private clubs, and sometimes community centers. Sometimes use of these courts will be free, while other times they may charge a small fee. Once you have found a place to play, you will need comfortable clothing and tennis shoes, or sneakers, a tennis ball and most importantly, a tennis racket.

Your tennis racket is made up of two parts: the handle or grip and the racket itself. When choosing a racket, the grip is the most important thing to keep in mind. The wrong grip on your tennis racket can cause blistering and discomfort, it can also affect your game by requiring more energy in your swing. In order to choose the correct racket, you should first measure your grip. This is done by measuring from the middle of your palm, to the tip of your ring finger. Typical sizes are four inches for children, four and an eighth to four and three eighths inches for women and four and a half to hour and three fourths inches for men. This measurement will coincide to the measurement around the handle of the racket. As the grip begins to wear, you will need to replace it. This time period will differ depending on how frequently you play.
