Recovery

Strategy

I can't recover for the next stroke when I play a stroke, especially flicks. I get paused at the end position. Please tell me how to recover for the next stroke. Do you have any drills to practice recovery?

Hi Kaustubh,

This is something that you can practice.  Follow the ball carefully and you will start to react naturally to the next ball.

When you start to learn a stroke you focus on the movements of the stroke and so you are thinking about getting to the finish position.  Once you become comfortable with the stroke you can start to focus on the rally in full and watching the ball.  This will help with your recovery.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
