Variation of strokes
Strategy
umar khan Asked 10 years ago
I have only practiced my pendulum serve and topspin and also a bit of backspin serves. The problem I have is that i'm too predictable. My peers know that i'm gonna serve short and directly hit a topspin off a long ball. The result is that they effectively block it and I choke, thus losing a match.
I've tried to change this but my pushes go too high and I get a flick. How to prevent this????

Hi Umar,
It is good to vary the serve sometimes. Serve a long fast serve every now and then and you will find they will not be able to stay so close to the table to return the short serve.
Variation is a big part of match strategy.
