Long Pip Player

Vs Din post & mentee

I used my forehand attack/hit to counter their left pimple ball return. Till now I lost to them but the game getting better and more competitive. However my backhand attack still weak for that kind of ball.

strength:
1. backhand chop serve return
2. forehand hit of pimple return ball
3. serve low/short down the line
4. Couple of backhand kill of high pip ball

weakness;
1. weak backhand return from pip ball. Either high or net.
2. slow return of loop kill/smash ball.
3. footwork
4. ball placement.
5. need more loop instead of flat hit(against pimple?i think hit is better)

setup: lkt zebra with 729 higher/huricane pro 3

Fast Spinny Serve and Return

Ist game- vs Matnor
Lost 2-3. Mainly because of poor serve return and poor serve(get attacked-2nd ball kill)
Weakness - return his spinny serve & got my serve attacked.
reflective:
1. Watch how he serve and prepare for right ball contact.just slow touch.
2. Keep serve low and short.

2nd game- vs Lan
win 3-2. lost early 2 set and comeback next 3 set for winner.
Strength:
1. get calm and stay confident
2. fast serve return
3. ball placing
4. sidespin/less underspin serve for 3rd ball attack

3rd game- vs zul(3-1)

How to get benefit from weaker player
1. try using more backhand to improve stroke
2. try new/other technics.

4th game- vs lefthander(3-1)

Early Leave

Last 2 game night, we finished our games early. Maybe we all getting tired fast or the mood were declined.I only play 2 match per night. I went home before 11pm.

1. Mie JKR (2-3)- attack his return(smash)to his left worked fine. No spin ball strategy was not working because he return with smash/hit.
2. Zul(4-1)- new member
3. Zuri(2-3)- smash/ flat hit always off the table-need to counterlooping his spinny loop.
4. Hj. Din(3-2)-win when I play aggressive/attack, slow spinny loop(no hit). He is good smash blocker and backhand hitter.His return are dead ball-need to smash

Reflective: work on backhand and stress on loop kill.
Setup: LKT Zebra 729 higher/hurricane pro 3
