hi ,
I had a really interesting match yesterday in my club. I was doing practise with one guy who has more experience than me but is technically alot worse than me (note: only technically! he wins vs me)
he can loop well on FH but on BH he tries but fails everytime. I practised alot lately, using 5ply wood with 2x vega pro. my loops are so safe, consistent, I put most shots on the table with good, solid spin. but they still feel weak and slow
During the match, I flipped basically all his short serves and looped his long serves, and he always just answered with punching my slow and spinny loop. needless to say, I couldnt return his punches (his shots had no spin but so fast). also, when I looped multiple times he just blocked them back or did a counter
What would be the next step for me as a low intermediate looper? focus more on placement, or start switching over to fast, aggressive loops rather than slow, but spinny safe loops?
Just curious if anyone made similar experiences. On a side note, when I used an innerforce blade, I made more mistakes but my loops where sooo much harder to return for my opponents. I dont know what I prefer
Cheers
