Not doing strokes correctly

Strategy

Pavle Dzeletovic Asked 11 years ago

Hello Alois,

I watch the stroke videos and focus on the techniques that I see. But when I actually start playing I see that I am doing the strokes nothing like I should be doing them.

Can you please give me some tips for doing better on my strokes?

Thanks

Hi Pavle,

This is very common. The good thing is that you have seen that you need to change them.

In a match now focus on making sure your finish positions of your strokes is correct. If you can do this in a match situation, then you will start to improve your game. It will take some time to get this right, but persevere.
