i wish you could bottle my enthusiasm too....i have a tendancy to drive people nuts...i cant help it!
as for rushing into buying...i wasnt planning on it...it was more comfort wise with the tab and arm guard. i wouldnt even know where to start with trying things otherwise, although looking around at shops to see who offers what in terms of ranges and calculation of a very 'ball park' budget has begun. the club has loads of beginners equipment so i wont be rushed i dont think.
i'll have to get to know a few people at the club fairly well before id dare to ask to try anything out! im awful. im hoping that if i force myself to enough competitions i might get a bit more confident. its a dream........
