How to make less mistakes
Strategy
Aaron Yeo Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois. I notice that I make many unforced errors during a match. I mostly play as an aggressive topspin player. I always try to find the opponent's weakness during a match, but I end up missing my execution of the ball. I would like to find a solution from you so I can make myself a more efficient but still an attacking table tennis player.

Hi Aaron,
Perhaps try to make the topspin still but slow it down so that you are getting the ball on the table more often.
Focus on the execution of the technique and then on the placement the than the speed.
You can still work on trying to topspin every time you get the opportunity but just not as fast.
