hi coach,

i wanted to ask that in a tournament or selection it is better to play offence or placing ball so as to confuse the opp. 

thank you

Hi Utkarsh,

Usually it is best to play with speed as long as you are also thinking about the placement of the ball.

If you can do both that is ideal.

To smash, open up your bat high near your head level and hit the ball flat just like slapping but if it's still out, try the same thing but the slapping action more down i always do this and it work well for me if the opponent is really focus on deffending your smash, keep smash until they're in trouble and then drop shot it also work well for me especially if the opponent have a lack of response

Alois comments hit the nail on the head so does Frendy Halim comments. I was not too bad at tricking or smashing, but Alois video helped me even more. This proves you can never stop learning. If it was not for Ping skills video i would not have improved in this area.
