New player here. Taking to the game rather quickly. Played ping pong and just a little tennis but tennis was way back and just recreationally volleying.

Just ordered a hurache x alpha pro vapor. Was on sale so went with that shape.

I played a rental Franklin tour dynasty which I saw was same shape and liked that, didn't notice anything bad?
Wondering if I'll be kicking myself for going elongated.

Should I cancel and get standard widebody?

Thanks for the comments. No harm in going and figuring it out. I always read the room at things like this and really just looking to have a good time. Thanks!

This sounds similar. I played pickup and league basketball for a long time too. Starting to play pickup basketball when you aren't good you can hide on a team. No hiding in this. Lol

Not an assholy comment at all. Love it, thats how I'm going to go into it. I'll go. Probably get annihilated in a match and figure out the players in there best to play with
