Friendly Game with Mahkota Aman

Last weekend play at Mahkota Aman, Bt 11 for a friendly game. Overall our club won the games but I myself still loosed. I played 3 guys in single and won only one of them. There I found variety of game styles that I never play before. These added my experience in table tennis and hope will help to improve my game.

First guy I faced served like kenta -I had trouble taking his serve and created many pop up. His chop to my fh were very heavy that many of my loops went to the net. I end up with 1-3 loss. My weakness here are serve return of kenta style and looping backspin.

Second game was with pimple guy(zainal). The games were very close but I lost 1-3. I found his weakness on topspin serve return in the middle but it was too late for the comeback. The good thing play with pimple opponent is I have opportunity to attack. However the downside is hard to take his wobbly ball.

Third game was the tough one. He is a pure hitter. My serve, serve return and bad drive got hit badly. It look like I will loose easily. Down 0-2 I change strategy by playing mid distance and loop his serves and gave spinny drives. It worked great when he began to misses his hits. By the end I took the last three game and won 3-2.

Here are my findings after the games:
1. Need to improve on serve return
2. Still weak in bh
3. Fh looping rarely applied, more of hits/smash.
4. Short game not so good.
