My Coach Uses Pips Out
Training
David . Asked 8 years ago
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.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
