Hi Alois

I am able to play almost all kinds of shots with good consistency especially on forehand.

But I am not able to read my opponent's weaknesses.How can I start making strategies against any player?

What all I should keep in mind while playing a match?

If you go through this process a few times you will start to be able to do it during matches as well by following the steps.

I've been using the vault for a month now and it has seriously improved my game. It has allowed me to discover my weaknesses that I needed to work on, as well as identifying the strengthes and weaknesses of the club members.

Hi Rory,

That is great to hear.  I don’t think enough players realise the value of the Vault.  Thanks for your words of encouragement for all the PingSkillers out there.
