Training
Hi,
I am a beginner/intermediate player who has recently been getting 1 on 1 coaching once a week. However, on one side of his racket he has pips out.
All the players I play against at work and my club do not use pips out racket. Do you think this will present a problem? I'm concerned I'll get used to countering pips out, but then struggle against my normal opponents at work who don't use them.
As additional info, I have no plans to enter tournaments or anything like that.
Thanks,
David
Hi David,
It may effect your strokes initially.
He will probably use the inverted side to hit to you most of the time which would be preferable.
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!
