  1. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Morning IB66,If opponent is serving long (or half long) into your elbow or middle, you can try and move a foot or so (300mm) to either the left or right, timing is crucial!! You need to re set just as they impact the ball, so they don’t have time to adjust their serve!! => i had to read your...

    for some reason, i had difficulty focusing on tasks at hand, continuing progress made from friday night i find off-the table discussions equally important as on-the-table drills i.e. reinforcing concepts, Q & A, paints a picture of my yellow-brick road, set proper expectations & therefore...

    Thanks Der for another motivation, productive session Monday night 👍 Below are technical points I am wearing on my forehead: * open (3rd/4th ball, serve return) with quality i.e. spin, location, speed, pace (?) * on a higher ball, perhaps setup by a spinning loop, make sure to step...
  17. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    A few technical skill areas to work on (that are costing you more than 1/2 of your points right now) are serve receive and underspin cut (push in USA Eng). => i concur => sometimes i piss away two service returns in a row, two easy, quick points to the opponent, no bueno => recent multi-ball...
