hi sir!

I am always losing my temperament while playing AGAINST rally players. they change their game often and i find it hard to guess their next move. Any suggestions on how to keep focus when playing  long rallies? smile

Hi Ruthvik,

When playing against a player that can get a lot of shots back on the table it is important to use variation of speed.  Often they like the ball coming faster to them so that they can use the pace to make you run.  If you change the pace and play some slower balls this may help you and make it more difficult for them.

For our Premium members we have a lesson in our Match Strategy on Playing A Blocker that will also help.
