Hi Aurel,

Developing a killer instinct is something that has to come from within rather than me telling you that you have to have a killer instinct.  It is having a real desire to win the point or game.  However, to be more attacking you need to think about developing a strategy where you are looking to make  atopspin stroke eevry time your opponent gives you a long ball.  A long ball means thet it is only going to bounce once on your side.

This is an important strategy for all attacking players.  Work on develping your serves and returns so that you create these opportunities.  By being able to serve well you will force your opponent to give you the long ball that you will be able to attack.

Train by serving and getting your partner to push th eball back at various lengths.  Whenever you get a long ball you need to attack it with a taopspin stroke.

Good luck.
