Me too. Was playing ugly moon ball game....too nervous.... Too careful aiiii.....

Now I know why i could not play my game in CTO....

i. too nervouse
ii. always play wif d same guy that suit my game, when playing wif a good soft hitter whom can ruturn every damn ball, i m panic and dont know what to do....

nvm.... room to improve....

yup, d average group age is much younger.... saw few 40-50 yrs old seasoned guys couple CTOs... some1 told me they all cant stand d heat.... but saw few malay pairs really strong and tip top condition some late 30 some young chap but very experience n smart play.....

wauuu......hoseen finally made it....he improved a lot....more control and patient now....good for him!!!

kelvin wong into plate final again!!! i think our friend purposely lost in group to make into plate then show real power thr...

Wauuu... All very Semangat!!! Including me off course!!!! 64 single!!! There will b more sharks in this bigger pool!!! Inv remember to invite raja kipas!!!!

no need hostel... i offer my place to raja... just let me touch ur virgin ps85 enough d... hahahaha

First, Raja, how come u know this guy?

And any tips on how to beat this kinda player? My biggest problem is not against hard hitter, but is against soft hitter.
I could not deflect his power by adding my power cox his coming ball has no pace, bounce very high and very slow. I tried to hit harder (cox no pace) it got out, if i hit flatter it will either go into the net or land too short ard service box...

d only wad i did in d match was step backward and just moonball back and I hate this kinda play!!!!

if ball come with pace, easier for me, i will hit my normal shot which can land ard baseline and i can put l or r without much problem, if happen that i can drag my opponent out of the court i will come in to finish with volley...

but now the ball is no pace, high bounce, and slow.... tolong tunjuk ajar pls

Raja how cOme u know lufti? Rizal is d best pusher in CTO, I call him santoro d magician.

Thanks for d tip, that was what I tried to do also. Guess is my foundation is bad. I can hit winner if ball come with pace, no pace shot is hard to hit, especially those flooting balls.... That's y make it so hard to attack d net... Nvm, more room to improve. I got his hp n wanna have a rematch....

N maybe I wanna join CTL...

thanks INV, thats true, i never think of tht!!!

CK, know my witness long time agao... hehehe, betul tak CK??!!

its ok ck, more ppl know better cox everyone will give me shots like that...i have no choice but to figure out how to deal with it and that way i can improve hehehe

normally, i will slice it back at the highest point. will do it to opponent bh as well.

if come with pace, i will take it normal stroke on d rise.

thanks to all advices and tips.......
summary:
1. be patient
2. look for oppoturnity to kill
3. dont ding dong with opponent
4. learn on to take the ball early
5. attack d net only when opportunity comes

well, its easy to say here but lotta training need to do in order to achieve that.... but i surely will work on it.........

lotta kam sia to all......

ok boss... went thr aldy on mon... tue could not make it... will go today also....

I Love Msia!!!! I Love my Tanah Air!!!!

INV, congrats on d new home ground.... Any VVIP ribbon cutting open ceremony? Say like Jedi Kipas long long time ago from a far far away galaxy.....
