Strategy
I have worked extremely hard at my serve and serve return. This is the only reason why I win matches. Once i get into a rally I have no consistency. Please help. I fell if I can improve my rallying skills I will be so much better. I know the answer is train train train but i have done so much training. And i mean drills when i say training
Thanks
Hi Thomas,
Try to work on your consistency in your training. You should think about doing some match drills where you start with a serve and then play the first three balls on the table consistently each time. After the first 3 balls you can hit the ball harder.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
