Would you let your 7 year old have a side arm stroke?

Watch craigslist and pick up a beat up old bar box for a couple hundred and lay it on the floor somewhere with the legs off. If it's too low shim with blocks of wood until it's perfect and raise it as he grows until he's tall enough to play on your table. If there isn't room push it against a wall. He won't care that he can't get all the way around it.

Then put the legs back on and put it back on CL and get all your money back. Ramps and stilts and crap around the table are not the answer. It's an accident waiting to happen.

I like this idea the best.
I read a story about a martial artist whose father planted a small tree....
...and taught him to jump it.
As the tree grew each year, so did the child...and he kept jumping it.

FWIW I started playing at age 5, as I grew taller my arm came down, no side arm at all. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Same here, 4-5 years old when I got started. My stroke for lack of a better way to say it, corrected itself, as I got older/taller and started emulating the better players. :thumbup:

this is a good idea, I believe SVB had the same type of equipment.

Thanks for the responses everyone!!!
 
He'll be taller than me in a few years!
