I despair against Powerplayers

[Airton111]

Hi daxter, that players are not invincible. I hate that wide-out serve, I never do it, but When my opponent on wt does that serve a hit a lob return I hope that he doesnt do a smash!!! You can play very deep shots everytime, that makes that class of players not to hit the ball so well and when they hit a ball middle court you should do a perfect time control shot.

I have problem with a player, a mexican player that plays drop shots every time and hi dit it perfect... World tour is a place where many players play cheesy

But if he's good playing dropshots why you call him cheesy?
I agree when you say that things like serving from tramlines, returning with lob/dropshots, using dropshots as defensive shots are such cheesy shots.

But dropshots is part of real, normal, tennis. Yes, we don't see them too much, but it's because tennis today has became more powerful, more physical and athletic.
So not only dropshots became very risky, but there are always less players that can play them very well,

I think they are dangerous, so when you hit one, you must be sure you succeed. If you do, well, I can only say "well played".
For what concerns you, try to stay a nearer the baseline during the rally, cause now you know he plays a lot of dropshots, so you must try to anticipate them.

Not as hard as you think

And when deep shots are not a problem for the guys? I don´t know what i can make than. I win 60-80% of wt games. at a good day more. But when i loose, than against Powerguys or 90/90 Wings Welsh Guys...

I have no recipe against good players, who uses Powerplayers...

A demonstration video on youtube, how to beat the guys... that will be perfect. but nobody show us noobs that
(because i think the most players despair against overpowered players)

Ok the point is this.
These power player are so good cause they can capitalize as best the characteristics of their setups.

So if you want to compete against them, you must do the same. You got Zajic as coach, right? Then you must be PERFECT with shot timing.
This coach gives you a precise passing shot, so you should make your opponent come at the net a lot of times, maybe using a short slice, or a drop shot.

Or you should go more often at the net, after a good attack approach.
It's all about capitalizing your own skills

PS For example, in WT there is Sandro Faranna who uses Zajic as coach, but he has a 0-20-0 setup if I'm not wrong.
And he is really really good compiting against power players.

I will do a video vs a gallo or other powered set up to show you how to beat him but the more probable think is that they beat to me because the quality I play when I make a video is bad, but I will try to play the best I can

Speaking about this, how can I realize a Youtube video of my matches?

It doesn't really help either that 90% of all power players are tramline servers.

You need a capture card and software to record from PS3 to PC.

Those are the ones who are not really good in the game.
When I see a guy serving from tramlines, returning with lobs/dropshots or doing all that things you consider cheesy, I simply think: could he win without using these shots?

If the answer is no, then we probably have a cheater (always in the meaning you give to this word).
If the answer is yes, then we have a guy who still doesn't know he's better than that.

And this speech counts both for power players and for Samala/Welch/whoever players, in my opinion.

PS Thanks for the info about making a PS3 video.
