how to defeat a person whose both forehand and backhand are perfect

Hi Muhammad,

If their forehand and backhand are perfect then you look to get them to make mistakes by exploting other areas of weakness.

Everyone has flaws in their game.  Even the so call perfect technique can break down under enough pressure.  The things that you can use to pressure your opponent are spped, spin and placement.

Every player has a limit as to how fast a ball they can handle in any given situation. Simliarly, if you can put enough spin onthe  ball and make it difficult for you ropponent to tell what spin is on the ball they will make mistakes.  Thirdly the palcement will test their ability to move fast enough.  Again every player has a limit as to how fast they can move.

With a combination of these three weapons there will always be an area wheer you can win points.  Of course you have to have the skill to be able to execute these strokes at a high enough level to test your opponent.  That is what this game is all about I guess.
