My Coach Uses Pips Out

Training

Hi,

I am a beginner/intermediate player who has recently been getting 1 on 1 coaching once a week. However, on one side of his racket he has pips out.

All the players I play against at work and my club do not use pips out racket. Do you think this will present a problem? I'm concerned I'll get used to countering pips out, but then struggle against my normal opponents at work who don't use them.

As additional info, I have no plans to enter tournaments or anything like that.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

It may effect your strokes initially.

He will probably use the inverted side to hit to you most of the time which would be preferable.

#32 - Effective Returns

In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
