I hope im wrong but i guess there is a problem with your knees like mine. Legs look like a little curvy. If you havent you should go see a doctor. Good match tho.

Wonder if you could have switched him to forehand a bit more as he seemed to prefer lobbing with backhand and mayhe that would have made him move a bit more and forced errors. In and out side to side seems to be key against this style? As well as being ready to play 30 shots in a rally if needs be and not get impatient 😂.b

@TTDPocketRocketАй бұрын
@@adamfaulkner1616 the drop shot is key here. When I watched you play him this weekend, you were not doing the drop shots correctly. When we do a drop shot, you need to be close to the table and take it off the bounce with a slightly down motion block. This way the 2nd bounce will be on the table or just off the edge of the table. Very easy to practise mate. The way you did it was like a block and it is very easy for him to lob it back on.
@TTDPocketRocketАй бұрын
7:13 is a good example of the drop shot. I take it very early off the bounce and going down on the ball slightly.

I saw Emanuel play against my club in France. He is number n727 in France playing in National 3 (5th division) but he could play in National 2 and his level is closer to n500.

Other rubbers I have used, start to show wear after 1-2 weeks.
