When playing a tournament in big hall
Strategy
Nabil Hamadeh Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
Usually when I am training (in a small hall say 8x4 meters), the sound of the ball on the bat is quite important..right..!
When I am playing a tournament in big halls like a basketball hall and there are about 16 table. The sound is quite different, how this shall be treated for a successful game..?
Thank you in advance

Hi Nabil,
This is just something you will start to get used to, the more tournaments you play. Try to get to the tournaments early so that you can have a good hit up and get yourself used to the conditions.
The ball may also feel like it moves slower in the bigger hall. It is all just relative so adjusting is the key.
