Is it useful to play with advanced players
Training

Hello, dear Alois and Jeff,
My question is:
Is it useful to play with advanced players even if I am not beginner? Usually I lose them 1-11 sometimes 2-11 or 3-11. Or it is more useful to play with players like me?

Hi Ardak,
I think a mixture of the two is the best combination. It is good to play with better players because they will be able to control the ball for you when you are training and also when you play games with them they will give you better quality shots to have to deal with.
It is good to play with players of your own ability because it is important that you learn to deal with their quality of ball. They often may not hit the ball as cleanly as the better players which gives you a different spin to deal with. The in a match situation it is good to have to deal with a close contest and learn ways and strategies to overcome opponents.
