I looked closely. What I saw was a quicker Kit. That doesn't mean Schlager is slow. But Schlager is clearly the chess player at the table, and
it is his strategy and experience that makes up for being slower and keeps him in the game.
A player can have more speed than another. It is not necessarily the one factor that will make him the better player.
You still dont get it. Let me break it down real simple for you.
Schlager is obviously PHYSICALLY slower, but due to his "strategies and experience", as you stated, he wouldn't need to move/adjust his position as much as Ho to pull off a good shot/block because he knows exactly what's going to happen next and where the ball will end up. So, with less adjustments needed, schlager can make sure he hit the ball at the optimal timing, and that's the "faster" im talking about here.
Basically, being able to get positioned AND have the time to hit the ball at the optimal timing.
What I said in the previous post meant that Ho either overshot or didnt move enough in the first place and therefore needed to adjust for his position after the ball has went past the net, thus he could only hit the ball at a later than optimal timing resulting in a bad shot/straight up error.
Get it now? The speed i am talking about isn't your physical spped, but its made up of a plethora of different things, be it experience, feel to the ball, strategies, footwork, reaction timing you name it, that will result in you getting to the ball earlier to hit it at a good timing.
I said specifically in the first post that this is the best description one can come up with if hes to boil down all the difference into ONE thing.
