Skills vanishing away after 15 minutes of playing

Strokes

Hi again. A couple of days ago I asked about my forehand smashing problem. Now I generate very good power and control with my forehand. But the problem is, after playing for about 15 minutes, my good smashes just vanish away. Is it a time question, like I will get better and will maintain the skills for longer or is it because I get tired or what ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Aleksander,

It could be that you are getting tired physically but also mentally perhaps.

Take a short break and then practice it some more and see if that helps.

Sometimes it can just be that you start to overthink the stroke.  So allow yourself to play the stroke and see what is happening.  Often your body will just adjust to the stroke.
