  13. How to play against flat hitters.

    Recently at my club there have been some newer players that LOVE to flat hit the ball instead of spinning it.

    After a lot of inputs from the previous thread, where I uploaded a doubles game coupled along with new tacky 729 rubbers created a lot of self doubt in my game technique.
