Hi Alois,

Yesterday, I played table tennis in not a perfect shape. I got a fever but I was still insist to play. Usually, I can land the ball perfectly on the table, but yesterday almost all of my ball went straight to the net or went out of the table. Does it mean I'm still lacking consistency in playing table tennis?

Hi Ernest,

There are a lot of things that effect performance.  Yesterday it sounds like your physical condition effected the way you were able to play.  It may not be that you are inconsistent but the illness may ave been the critical factor in your performance.
