Hi Alois and Jeff,

First of all, I wish you a happy new year.

Second of all, I have a question of how to overcome getting tired during a long rally because whenever a rally reaches about 70 hits, I start to feel tired and the outcome is that the ball bounces off the table or the ball gets too high and my opponent smashes it easily.

Please give a response quickly so I can start practicing.

Hi Saifullah,

If you are practising to get better in a match then you don't need to worry about getting tired with a 70 shot rally because that will very rarely happen in a match.

It is more about your concentration over that period of time.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
