After mastering counterhits

Strokes

Hi Alois and Jeff,

I recently stumbled on your website around a month and a half ago.  Your advice was to master the counterhits.  It was great advice I am now beating people I would never think of beating.  It also helped that I got a paddle that had really great spin speed and control.  I am going to a tournament for the first time next Sunday, and I was wondering if there is anything I should work on before then, or just stick to working on the counterhits. 

Thanks

Hi Jared,

Probably the one thing is to thin about getting a bit of experience with returning serves.  This may not be possible before the tournament but try to learn as mush as possible on the day in this area.

Before the tournament you can work on your own serves however.  Don’t worry too much about the results from this first experience.  Try to learn as much as you can.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
