Close Table

Last night I played close to table and apply more aggresive stroke. Forehand stroke very good however backhand showed some weaknesses. Here are results of my games against members club.

vs Hazlee(1-4)
Overall good game. This guy good at hit away from table and placing the ball far left and far right. Play close to table need fast reaction from both backhand and forehand and also good footwork. I need to stress on footwork and backhand strokes near the table. Maybe take the ball early/off bounce for better backhand. To play this guy(away from table hitter) I need fast block near table.

vs Mazlan (3-0)
The only game I won last night. Key: serves, attack serve return, attack serve and good return. Many of his smashes hit net.

vs Zuri(1-3)
Good game. This time I was more agressive by counterhit his loops. Eventhough many of them were misses, but this affect him to adjust his loops directions. Counterloops became more interesting. However his backhand strokes very effective for many points. My serves also got loop from his backhand. It is better to loose with more agressive strokes than loosing with passive stroke(block away from table). Maybe in short terms I won by using passive stroke but in long term short game/close to table will get some advantages. His serves and spinny loops were the key of his strength. I need to work on serve return and counterloop.
