I hope you don't mean it sarcastically. Either way if I do light backspin and he also just does a lightbackspin motion doesn't it result in closer to a no spin? Or does his motion really have to be just lifting the ball? When I give a lot of backspin can he always make it a no spin ball if he...

idk maybe you misread my reply. I just put my own thoughts in without ever getting defensive in my response. I also want to say that I definetly think I am too passive especially on the backhand. It's just not a lot using my backhand topspin 4 times or so in the entire match on the receive. The...

For me I am not even overthinking. I know some other players tell me they think too much but for me I am fighting with negative emotions inside me. Its just a terrible feeling as if my body tries to warn me of making mistakes.

No. I don't know from whom but I got this idea that it's a useless drill since that scenario happens maybe once or twice in a real match at our level. I did that drill maybe once in 4months or so. My practise partners were also not good enough to do this. But in the trainingscamp we did this...

Again you don't know his playing level I don't know either. I don't go defense I challenge what they say. Same with you and the others. As someone said before I have to be careful who to listen to and since I don't know peoples playing rate/expertise I pick only the ones that I understand and...

this is plain wrong. This would be only true if I can make those same shots only consciously which is not the case to me. In Training I do them subconsciously as well. And its not necessary that I can't do it in matches from what I have analyzed. It's that I don't do it consistently or revert...

good point in practise this works for me. In match situation by the time that same scenario occurs I will have forgotten about what I did wrong the last time. You don't want to think about it in the rally eventually I have only this in my mind ok I looped out twice and last time I looped into...

This part right here. As a solo player who got up to 1500RC in a club where there is only 1-2 1200-1300 and rest below 1000. I had to fight and prove myself a lot. So making mistakes was always hard for me. Don't mix it up with loosing because I lost a lot of games in the beginning. I kept...

I agree with you but then the rubber is not right if I have to go 1,9mm I think I read that somewhere and had people talk about this with me too. I like the feeling of the ball sinking into the rubber so why go for a thinner rubber? The problem with harder rubbers are that I don't feel the ball...

do you know the difference between the R series and NUZN series? Even though I said I found R48 "hard" after playing with d09c for over 2years on a faster blade like Long 5 W968 and even now with Korbel that a rubber like that might feel soft enough for me to build more confidence. I also don't...

Yep I agree noone told me that. And I couldn't memorize and was so much under pressure that I thought ok keep serving more backspin. 2. I do the underused side top serve again free point Man I am so pissed. Why did I stop pivoting here. He is taking advantage of my bh push receive clearly. I...

I wonder if I should get more loud myself. Not harimoto style loud but a simple shout in front of me to keep pushing. I feel like I am too quiet and start to play energysaving mode instead of keep pushing to end the game asap. I tend to play as if I have to spare my energy for the next 5 games...

I know these words come from good place but it's not like I like playing defense or having to react to balls. I also much prefer winning my points with a good attacking shot. I am also not defensive here but feel free to give suggestions on HOW TO ACHIEVE. Like how to overcome my fear or in...

Yes I am working on this. I just don't know where to move in the first few exchanges especially. The reason why I moved to the left there was because I played a good quality ball to his deep backhand and I was like ok he can only play to my backhand. I immediately knew that I can't wait in the...

I think I saw his movement served short to his fh. And then because he was out of position I didn't know where he was gonna push or what he was gonna do with that ball. Maybe I was expecting a short ball back either way I def didn't expect the long ball for some reason. Idk how I looped that...

1. Even though I agree but you contradict yourself if you read your very first comment on the first point. It's the same ball back then you said it's risky and here you say I should have looped. This ball I didn't loop because I was focusing hard not to do an unforced error myself. If he gets...

Thank you for the detailed response. I will reply to some points you mentioned. 2. It looked like heavy push. You can see he doesn't just lift the ball but activelly "cuts" it. Hard to tell how much backspin the ball had. I wanted to be "safe" and looped too much upwards. I still don't...

Because in my head I have that little hope if I play a more forgiving rubber/ a rubber that doesn't need that much penetration, that I am gonna be more confident in looping. I don't know if thats gonna be the case for me. Someitmes I want to penetrate the rubber but I don't want to play a fast...

You really think short serves benefit my playstyle? I always felt cluecless what to do with a good short push back or worse with a flip. In training drills when I tell them to fh flip my serve I am very relaxed and happy but in matches I feel stressed out. I will note this down to further...

Honestly I don't remember if I tried R48 on Long 5 or not either way thats 3-4 years ago. I went from 47° hardness like Aurus and Aurus Prime etc towards the hardest rubber which is the d09c. So going a step back to g09c was the right direction but the rubber still felt very hard. I wouldn't...
