mat huang Asked 12 years ago
Hi alois,
I always lose to my dad nowdays because he always serve short or very long. When its short, its easy for the flick. But when its long, i often cant use the counterhit in time and i just lob it
Pls help me with this problem

Hi Mat,
Try being ready for the long serve and whenever it comes long make a topspin. If it comes short it is easier to move in and make a push or flick.
