Variation of strokes

Strategy

umar khan Asked 11 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.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
