Tournament Tips
Strategy
Mike Deubig Asked 1 day ago
Hello Alois,
I will be playing in a State Tournament on Saturday. I play with the Waldner Gold Edition blade with BlueStar A2 on the forehand and Stiga Helix on the backhand. I'm a club player. I have an offensive style. Strong on both sides. I tend to spin more with the backhand side close to the table. Further back, I can spin the forehand. I'm a lefty. Two years ago, I won the Under 2000 event. I don't play in many tournaments. I was wondering if you had any tips, like serving, attack shots, or tactics in general.

Hi Mike,
My best advice is to just get out there and learn as much as you can during the tournament.
See if you can just play the game that you know. This is not a time to try to change something but rather just to do what you know and see how it stands up. Then learn about the areas that you might be bale to work on in the next training sessions before you have another try at playing tournaments.
Good luck with it all. I would love to know how you get on and the areas that you thing you would like to work on.
