Changing playing style
Strokes
Pazhamalai M Asked 6 years ago
Hello coach. I have been used to a particular kind of stroke. It’s holding the bat slightly towards the left side. The problem is whenever i hit the ball with forehand it always go to the left side and most of the time outside the table. Since i was used to it it’s quite difficult to change it. And also i have the habit of always moving towards tha table while playing. These styles are difficult to change.

Hi Pazhamalai,
Technique can be difficult to change but it is possible. Especially if you are seeing that the technique is leading to errors.
In training focus on making the changes. As you start ot feel comfortable with the change, start to use it in a more open situation, such as a rally and then you can use it in practice games and eventually bring it into a real match situation.
Change is difficult but the alternative is to stay at the same level.
