Is it better to be consistent with shots or is it better to try and go for the power shot

Hi Kevin,

This depends on your opponent.  It is playing the percentages. If you are playing someone a lot better than you and putting the ball on the table will lead to you losing for sure, then you can take a few more risks.  If they are not as good then you can rely on getting the ball on the table and beating them.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
