Just started playing again :)

[Christian Adrian Aniceta]

Hello guys...I just started playing again after graduating college... not much time to play since I'm still studying for board exam..
Do you have tips on what to focus on if you started playing again after some time?
here is a video of how I play ... I know I have a lot to improve on XD
thanks (I'm the guy with xiom playing attire.. out of shape XD)

Hi Christian, welcome back to the game and to the forum.

When I took up playing after a long hiatus, my mantra was: consistency > placement > speed/spin. I started out on basic consistency exercises, and when basic stroke was back in form started on patterns-based movement/footwork drills, then once that got solid moved on to random placement.

And when all that was decent enough, I started to work on shot quality. And now I'm busy trying to get a grip on tactical play.

It seems that your friend's serves don't have a lot of backspin, and that's why when you push them back, the ball is too high. I think you can easily attack on those.

A lot of info here in one place. Read the intro then make your decision, well worth 5-10 minutes of your time.

Thank you very much. I will try focusing on those.
