Mixing 21pt game and 11pt game

Discussion

Hi Alois,

I have become used to playing the to-11-pt game, and am considering playing comp to 11 one night and then the next night playing to 21 points.  I'm wondering if a mix-up would be beneficial or perhaps not a good idea at all?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I think if the option is not playing at all then playing up to 21 is fine.  It is still Table Tennis after all.

To confuse your opponent you need to produce variations in spin. Just by mixing up heavy backspin and light backspin, you make it really difficult for your opponent to control the ball. In this master class we discuss the best ways to achieve this.

Hi Alois,

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that I only have one option. I'm currently playing two nights a week to 11 pts and may have time to play another night (to 21). So, I'd be combining the two different scoring systems. It'd be to 11 pts one night, then to 21 the next, and then 11 again. I thought I'd perhaps get confused, but it could also be a novelty and beneficial.  What do you think?

Another problem could be burning out from too much TT.

Cheers,

Andrew.
