Hi Gian,
Being offensive needs to start in your practice sessions.
You need to practice routines where you are using your topspin or attacking strokes early in the rally. You need to be looking to initiate the attack.
A simple drill is to start the drill with a short serve. Get your practice partner to push the ball back to your forehand and then you practice making a topspin attack.
There are several more drills that you can do to practice this type of play. These will all help you to become a more attacking player. It is difficult to just become a more attacking player in a match situation.
Take a look at our latest DVD Training Secrets Revealed. This will help you with your practice sessions and teach you how to incorporate the drills into your game.
