Playing against no power

Strategy

Oliver Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff,

I have met a few players who are very consistent and have very good ball control, but lack the power to finish off the rally. How can you use that weakness against them?

Hi Oliver,

With these sorts of players you can wait for the right ball to play the strong shot. If they can't hit through you then you have a little more margin for error.

Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
