  6. Topspin arc with a slow soft (defensive) blade

    I was recently advised by a coach to switch to a much slower blade after a multi ball session.

The effect on...

  13. Is trying to play a defensive/chopper style under 2000 USA basically worthless?

    After bumbling around trying out the defensive styles for awhile, mainly aiming to chop... I have come to the conclusion that rarely anybody in the 1,200-1,900 USA rating range wants to loop the ball! And that winning by attacking seems much easier and quicker. So for anyone else out there...
