Controlled Game
Strategy
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 13 years ago
How can I practise to play very unexcited and controlled? Because my coach said me I play very hectically. Thank you in advance, Lukas.

Hi Lukas,
In training focus on getting more balls on the table in a row.
Start to think about being more consistent in a game situation as well. Often putting the ball on the table one more time is enough to win a point rather than trying to hit a winner.

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.

So I shoulnt hit it every time with a Lot of speed and spin but I should do a counterhit or a block with good placement?
Yes, that is good. You can wait for a weaker ball to attack it fast but think more about placement.
