Decision making

[Polsa81]

Hi!

I`m new to this forum and wanted to ask the experienced pros about their decision making on the court.
I started my WT career out with a balanced pro (0/12/8) and was quite happy. But after a while I started loosing too many matches because i Did not have enough pressure to dominate or even close out rallies. I tried with a high power player (0/20/0) and had instant sucess against a lot of opponents. But still the sucess did not last long. Now i am trying with a little bit more balance (2/15/3) but still remnaining an offensive baseline player. My skillset now (i think) is:
FH 77
BH 77
SV 91
VL 49
PWR 86
END 78
SPD 56
REF 55
with serving bonus skills (precisioin and intense serve).

I figures i need to play more control shots in order to mix up the rallies a little. But i still have trouble identifying the right shot at the time. How do you decide wheather to play a control or power shot? Often i see that my decision was the wrong one, but if the button is pushed once, there is no way back. How do you mix it up and decide which shot to choose? I would like to get a better player on WT but i seem to struggle after a first short period of wins. How do you stay sucessful over time?

Just one word: Practice. When you face a good player, pay attention in what kind of shot he´s using against you. With time you´ll be able to select better your shots.

Yeah perfectace is right! there is no way someone can help you what to do on the court because it all depends on your position , your opponent position , the way he plays..which is different in every case.
practice and you will get better and better, just when you think you are done and you dont get better, you will find new stuff...
