這個復活節與清明的長周末假期，原定計畫在阿曼（Oman）度過，卻因中東戰火而告吹。 行程改為網上授課交流後，也因此可以享受一個留港悠閒短假期，遂應友人之邀，一嘗匹克球（Pickleball）的滋味。 Pickleball是一種趣味十足的「三不像」運動：球場規格取自羽毛球，球網高度參考網球，球拍則像加大號乒乓球拍，卻配上網球拍的握柄。最獨特的，是那個布滿小孔的膠球。玩起來，既像在打慢板網球，也像在地面打乒乓球。這運動予人最大的滿足感，是不難把球送回對方球場，一板來一板往，打得不亦樂乎。 匹克球其實不是新玩意，它誕生於一九六五年的美國華盛頓州，據說當年是由Joel Pritchard與家人朋友在百無聊賴之際，隨手拼湊器材發明出來的遊戲。初時只在美國西岸較流行，主要參與者是退休人士，因遊戲易上手，體力消耗亦可隨心調整。直到九十年代，這項運動才慢慢被廣泛接受；二○二○年後更是爆紅，熱潮席捲全球。 不難愛上這項運動，基本上毋須專業訓練，拿起球拍便很自然把球送前，若有點網球根底更易上手，再糅合乒乓球的上、下旋技巧，便能添上變化。當然，這只是基本入門動作，要晉身高手行列絕非易事，因勝敗關鍵在於網前截擊（Volley）能力，那極其考驗眼明手快與細膩技術。 幸好醫生天生不求進取，只求快樂。與幾位朋友在場上板來板往、哈哈大笑兩小時，賽後再去喝杯凍咖啡，便已不亦樂乎地消磨一個早上。 Source link
