Playing against no power

Strategy

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.
