Hi alois,

I always lose to my dad nowdays because he always serve short or very long. When its short, its easy for the flick. But when its long, i often cant use the counterhit in time and i just lob it

Pls help me with this problem

Hi Mat,

Try being ready for the long serve and whenever it comes long make a topspin.  If it comes short it is easier to move in and make a push or flick.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
