Hi sir...my name is praanesh....i am a tt player who's playing for 8 years now...i have a bigger problem sir...i am able to play the forehand rally separately when I am practicing it...but can not play it in the match...Because of this reason i give away easy points to my opponent...my only problem is my forehand rally during the match...how to rectify this sir ??

Hi Praanesh,

This is a common problem.

What you can do in training is start to do more random hitting.  That is hitting where you don't know where the ball is coming to.  This way you will start to replicate more closely playing your strokes in a match.  It is a first step to learn to play the strokes individually but it is the next step to be able to play them in a series of shots.
