After practice session
Training
Pasquale Mule Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois, When i practice a slow attacking technique in my session and after that session i play for fun, is it normal that when i do that technique soon after I make many mistakes, because after a day or 2 without playing, when i play again its like my technique is consistent and i have improved the technique without doing anything. Is this normal?
Thanks!

Hi Pasquale,
I find that players start to overthink things. So if you are practicing something a lot you get more and more theories about what you are doing which only disrupts the mind.
After a while, the benefits of hitting those balls is still there but there are not as many expectations so the stroke does feel easier. Your subconscious has also had time to process things about the stroke. It is an interesting working of our mind.

I know, but also ill give you an example: Like today i normally did 5 fast forehand topspins against block each time but then i wanted to practice alone practising the technique slowly and after that i did like 2 fast topspins without making a mistake and a day later i do 10 fast forehand topspins without making a mistake, is it that the mind is processing and upgrading the technique? so that after i get better at it a day later? because thats what i feel, and my friends also did that practice and they said they had the same thing but after 2 days the technique was alot better and better than it used to be.
Yes I think that is a good way to look at it.
