Tony,
I appreciate your thoughtfulness in the matter below when you commentedas below in another thread

I suggest you to also have some good medical/personal insurance for that matter.

I do suggest you to play wearing shoes though.
Other than injury prevention, you will have better grip and better movement. Which is key to proper technique and higher level play.

I know there are may be lots of readers out there who may interpret your injecting a comment from this thread into another thread TWICE as something slick. But I absolutely assure you I am not one of them

In fact I know you only care 100% about my health & finances and not anything else, even though I never said in my reply that I was actually playing barefeet and only said as to WHY I preferred to play barefeet & also explained that the rec center I play does not allow barefeet .

I know I know I get your brilliant reverse logic now. I think you are saying that you “thought” I was trying to play barefeet at a professional facility and not a recreational facility.

And I also appreciate your comment about my being able to play at a higher level in the future like a professional facility like your where so many top players play and you mention in every post. I am so flattered that I am actually blushing. though I will ever be that good to be able to play with shoes in a professional facility like yours or CNT (with no barriers if I may add) .

However I am TOTALLY confused about one thing though (Sorry but I do not have experience in this sport like you(Tony) or Carl)..
Carl, you told another poster they are are fine playing barefeet but you Tony tell me that I should not play barefeet . Is it because you think you consider myself highly talented enough to play at a professional facility like yours but someone new is not ? If so I accept your (Tony’s) compliment.

However I am still curious to know as to where or if it says in the rules or regulations that barefeet is illegal in tournament play.
I would appreciate if someone lot lot more experienced than me in the sport can explain.

Thanks

Isn't recommedning to play barefoot irresponsible ?
