Predictable trouble

Strategy

Hi, coach.

Some friends of mine said that my game is very predictable, like hitting the ball back right at where it come from, and some other stuff. I often lose because of this.

I'm a looper, and how to fix this?

Hi Erriza,

At the start predictable is good because it means you are hitting the ball consistently.  After a while you can start to practice variation of your strokes.  You can vary the place you are hitting to, the speed you are hitting and also the amount of spin you are putting on the ball.  All of these things will make it harder for your opponent to cope with your game.

This is something you can develop if you feel you are consistent enough.

Aaaaw, thanks for making my question a show, coach. It's better than just reading your answer, since you can add more technical details in your show. I'm looking forward for your next lesson and guidance.

 

Cheers! :)
