Hi Alois and Jeff,

First of all, I wish you a happy new year.

Second of all, I have a question of how to overcome getting tired during a long rally because whenever a rally reaches about 70 hits, I start to feel tired and the outcome is that the ball bounces off the table or the ball gets too high and my opponent smashes it easily.

Please give a response quickly so I can start practicing.

Hi Saifullah,

If you are practising to get better in a match then you don't need to worry about getting tired with a 70 shot rally because that will very rarely happen in a match.

It is more about your concentration over that period of time.

What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
