Hi Abdullah,

Speed and consistency comes once you have good technique and can do the stroke well at slow speed. If you can do this, then you will be able to speed the ball up and still remain consistent.

So start with the ball going slowly and then speed it up.  You may play 3 or 4 balls at a slower speed and then increase the speed in the rally each time.  You will find that you will increase your consistency because you are wanting to get to the faster balls.

Taking Risks

It's important that you assess your opponent's skill level and your own skill level. Using this information you can then decide how much risk you need to put into your game. If your opponent is a lot more consistent than you, you may need to go for a bit more on each of your shots to try and force an error.
