Sup,
I know this is kind of basic, but basics are foundation of every rally. I am experiencing some issues in matchplay where I pick wrong shot for incoming ball. I either loop the ball as if it was underspin ball when the ball is empty etc. Most notably I have issues trying looping high balls. I know I should just smash those, but for some reason just want to loop those, and I am usually late in the timing. I noticed I have a tendency of doing same shot multiple times in a row, even if it is not most optimal choice.
I want to work on that decision making process. I noticed that for me even if the shot is not 100% technically beautiful, if it is proper shot for the ball, its usually more successful one. I would love if you recommend me some exercises that will help me embrace the chaos present.
Some will say just play the matches. I don't thing that is ideal. I thing I will be leaning towards semi chaotic multiball. Match rallies are very short. I would prefer much more continuous excercices. I noticed that attack from whole table into oppont single side are doing me some favor, but I would love to prepare more training scenarios.
Another where this messes me up is the fact that I usually play with rather good players, they pack a punch, very low to the net balls, very spinny. I often have issues playing with lower level players because the often do high, empty balls, and I am staring at that ball thinking "what am I suppose to do with that ball kek".
