Adjusting to a different table

Michelin Sehgal Asked 13 years ago

Hey Sir,

Sir i wanna ask that if we go for a tournament outside our city and we find a new type of table, on which we have not practiced. does it makes any difference to our game and is it an advantage to the hometown players who regularly practice on that table?

Hi Michelin,

It does take a little getting used to a new table.  If you know you are going to a tournament where there are unfamiliar tables, make a real effort to get there early and hit on the tables as much as possible before you are due to start.

This is all part of a good preparation for a tournament anyway.

It takes players differing amounts of time to adjust.  Don't worry about the slight changes just allow yourself some time.
