hi alois I’m Nitin from INDIA. I have an opponent with long pimples in his backhand.U asked me to Put backspin ball to the back hand to get topspin balls so I could attack to get more points, but my opponent is very good in blocking, so he blocks very good and he makes me to do more mistakes. So alois or Jeff could u give me some tactics to beat him.

Hi Nitin,

If you are playing the topspin ball and he is getting it back then you can push the next ball.  You can keep alternating between backspin and topspin.

The more you play against the pimples the more comfortable you will get and will start to control the rallies.  They are relying on your spin and speed.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
