What am I doing wrong?

Postby Haiffaman64 » Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:10

I've lost my last however many matches in a very one sided fashion (6-0 6-0 or 6-1 6-1 at best). I have no idea what to do at this point. I play mostly with control shot and almost always hit with perfect timing. My set-up is a 12 (OB) 8 (DB) and 0 (SV). It just seems like everyone hits the ball so much harder and with a better angle than I do. My biggest problem seems to be that I can never finish off points. I'll stay in the rally for a while, but can never come up with the winner.

Please help, I'm seriously thinking of quitting the tour at this point.

You can't use only control shots, especially when the ball comes slow.
And when you're ready to close/win the point, you don't need control shot, you need to accelerate.

What do you mean by accelerate?

Using power shots instead of control shots.

I do that, but the power shot is never accurate enough. My opponent almost always gets to it.

Because you're players is not a power player (or anyway, a player with at least 83 power, you have 79 if i remember), so if you wanna win the point, you have to "create" the opportunity to close it with an easy winner shot.

It requires more patience, especially when you're leading the rally.

friend wining match here in itst is not easy like world tour and online player game. here the players are good. and some players are very bad like me.

i am playing this game for last 2 months continiously, slowly slowly you know the tricks and how to play and what to do

stay calm and play, think always about this game when your free because topspin is thinking game, you know here players always play cross shot pitch inside the box and angle to 30 degree very diff to get , so play use shot counter and longer better coach thomas madar he will be helpfull in the future.

Well I would say that variation is the key.
