A common area of difficulty for club level players is not knowing when to shorten their stroke and make it bigger!
-
-
It’s partly also due to experience.
-
-
When the ball speeds up, you have more speed on the ball to borrow and return back to your opponent.
-
-
You also have less time, so you need a shorter stroke.
-
-
When the ball is slower, there is less speed on the ball for you to borrow, and you have more time. This calls for bigger strokes.
-
-
This is a concept that takes time and practice to get the hang of.
-
-
Popular belief is that there is a set technique to playing forehands and backhands.
-
-
While this is partly true, the real situation in points/matches is that you need to be able to shorten/larger your stroke at will, depending on the incoming ball!
