Adopting machine technique to real game
Training
Jim Yu Asked 6 years ago
I can hit both the back-spin and top-spin balls feed from a machine with consistency. But doing poorly in real games: Missing the ball, timing wrong, off the table, etc. How can I improve?

Hi Jim,
I think the key now is to find a practice partner to feed you backspin balls. The robot is OK for getting the basic technique right but the subtle variations that occur when receiving a hit from someone else isn't there.
The other thing you can do is to add random placement to the robot drills and if the robot has the function also vary the type of spin that is coming out.

Initially when you are learning a new serve you can just get a bucket of balls and serve over and over again. But at some stage you need to practice your serve exactly as you would play in a match. In this session we focus on this. It's important that you try to make this practice as close to a real match as you can so that when you are in the real thing, you feel comfortable.

Canthis be a reason why I play against a robot so bad?
