Hello sir,

1 or 2 years back my game was better than the players of my district , those players practice regularly and also attend academy. I turned my game equivalent to them without much practice and no coaching . But now I have noticed because of their regular classes and practice they are playing better than me.  I cannot attend academy because of studies . Now I have lost all my hope of winning against them in a tournament . My game reading skills are better than them because of studies and knowledge about different types of players . Is game reading skills a big advantage over them? And how can I restore my hope?

Thanks in advance

Hi Shivam,

Playing more is a big advantage for them.  However use your mind more and do some homework on their strengths and weaknesses.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
