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.
