Trouble beating anti and long pips players

Post by Joanikije »

Why do I have so much trouble beating long pips and anti players ?
It is not like these are pro level opponents
I am intermediate & have trouble against other intermediate pips or anti players even slightly lower than my level
I have a great forehand and can also loop on backhand

This may be the key.
90% of players think they have a great consistent , versatile & powerful backhand like a pro
But only 10% amateur players actually do.
You need to honestly ask yourself whether your backhand has what it takes to be a two winged looper.
If not it is time to switch to a different play style on your backhand that is more of your natural style.
Most players go thru their entire life with the delusion that they have great backhands
Others are brainwashed into believing that
