Playing with a new bat

Haris Ansari Asked 12 years ago

Hi Coach!

I had bought a new bat ( timo boll 1000) .It has a nice spin. It is too hard for me to play any stroke. I am not able to control it's speed,spin. After a week, my T.T tournament will be started and my opponents whom I had defeated in previous tournament had challenged me again. therefore,I request you to tell me some practice drills so that I can easily restore all my powers in this new bat.

Hi Haris,

THis is a problem of buying something that is too fast.  You lose control very easily.

For now what you should do, is play a lot of consistent rallies.  For the next week, jus hit a lot of balls on the table slowly.  Try to do 500 hits in a row with forehand and then backhand and so on.  This will develop our touch of the new bat.
