Dear Coach, 

My Table Tennis Coach tells me that though my play is good , it is extremely predictable.

What can I do to bring some variation in my game , such that it is unpredictable and I am able to win matches easily.

Hi Raghav,

You can start to practice variation of the 3 variables, spin, speed and placement.

Think about how you can vary these to make your strokes less predictable in training.  In one training session you can work on one of those things.  In each drill that you do see if you can vary the speed of your strokes for example.

The more you practice this in training the better you will get at being able to vary these things in a match.
