Rishi Madan Asked 15 years ago

hi...

I am Ur INDIAN admirer...

 I Am 13 Yr old and Going to Play A National Tournament from 23 October.

Last year,I lost the Semifinal Match to a team whose players were Using Yasaka Phantom 007 and 012.

They were Extremely good defenders and  were also good at hitting topspins.

Please Give me A good Strategy Against them.  I dont Want to Lose to them this year as well just coz of their Awful Rubbers.

Please RESPOND SOON....

Hi Rishi,

Firstly good luck with the Tournament.  Focus on playing well in each point that you play. Try not to focus too much on any particular result.

The first thing with playing Long pimple players is to understand that they can't generate too much spin of their own off the Long Pimples.  

A simple way to play them is to push one ball to the pimples and then attack the next.  If ti comes back you can push it again.  Wait for the high ball after you push to play a strong stroke.

The other important thing about playing long pimple players is to accept that they are playing a legitimate game.  It is still difficult to develop the skills to use long pimples.  Work hard at combating their style and you will find yourself improving in all areas of the game.

Good luck again and let us know your results after the tournament.
