Hi Nick,

Control is the ability to put the ball where you want to.  If we are playing a forehand it is about being able to put the ball on the table many times in a row.  The best way to improve control is to try and get as many shots on the table in a row as you can.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
