Game Problem

Hi,

I don't have problem with nervous or  hesitation or fear. I know the strategies and Techniques but I don't know how to use it, or when.I don't know even where should I topspin or smash. In backhand or Forehand. I don't know how to play with different players. Once one of our national team members told me that the problem is my style. He said you are playing a good style and when I'm playing with you I'm very comfortable because you topspins have good spin and I can do everything with it. But I don't agree with him. Please help me with that.

Thanks

Hi Sina,

This is something that youwill be able to solve with some thinking.  It is important to firstly work ou how you win points in a game.  for example, it may be with your forehand topspin.  Then you need to work out a strategy around how you can get to that.  Fo rexample if your best winning stroke is a forehand topspin, then you need to find a way to get your opponentb to give you a long ball that you can topspin. 

Next you need to work out for each of your opponents what strategies you need to work on to win points.  This may be quite different for each player.
