Training time priorities

Abhiram Reddy Asked 11 years ago
How much should I concentrate on developing the consistency of a new stroke?
I have 2- hr sessions 5-6 times a week.
I really want to work on developing my backhand flick/topspin receive but at the same time I want to improve on areas I am consistent at ( For example I have a consistent FH topspin stroke .But it lacks variety because I cannot Hook/Fade or play the slower topspin well)
So ultimately my question would be how should I distribute my time among : mastering my strengths , developing new strokes, and practicing known strokes.

Hi Abhiram,
The off season is a good time to develop your weaknesses. At this time, you can think about getting stronger with your backhand topspin and flick.
During the season, focus more on the things that win you points.
So the distribution during the off season would be about 70% weaknesses and 30% strengths. During the season the percentages can be reversed.
