Rusty at the start

Kiran Ponnaluri Asked 12 years ago

Hello,

Until a couple of months ago, I used to be able to play attacking shots pretty consistently right away. However in between, I had to go away on a business visit and now I am taking almost two sets to start getting my smashes consistently.  The tournament in my office starts this Friday.

Can you please advise on how I should approach this situation and suggest any routines/tips?

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Probably more of a warm up before the matches.

I used to find a practice session earlier in the day, even if it was a short one would help me if I had to play later in the day.  May also help with the slow start.

If there is time before you start your match, try to have a really good warm up including playing some competitive points.
