Backhand Drive with Medium Pips - Effective Long Game Strategy

Описание: This video is the sequel to my previous video about my three-month experience using Medium Pips. I'd like you to join me as I show you what I have learned.
First, my strategy is a long game where I have the initiative or the advantage. The more the ball stays on the table, the greater the probability I will own the point.
The playing pattern starts from Serve-Loop-Drive-Spin. Serving long and with heavy underspin. It will limit my opponent’s options unless he is a Class A player. Thus their usual reply to avoid sending the ball into the net would be a long push to my backhand. After making their return predictable, I’ll proceed to my signature loop. If they can survive the first disruption brought by my Medium Pips, they may usually return slightly high balls. The drive's second contact with Medium Pips worsened its disruption even more. Thus, a swift ninja-like forehand topspin or, if possible, a more dramatic ball-breaking smash to end the rally is very satisfying.

After sacrificing about 3 or 4 points, strategic opponents may adjust and try to disrupt my playing pattern. They may vary the ball placement, thus delaying me if I will do forehand strokes. Then, I will proceed to plan B. That is to change the amount and direction of my service spin, ball placement, and distance from the net.
The same with service returns. I follow the same playing strategy, except without me serving. It is one of the reasons why I changed into medium pips. The difficulty of reading my opponent’s service spin variation will be reduced or simplified. I can easily control their services to my backhand by looping or pushing their balls. Thus, forcing them to serve in my forehand instead. In that way, I can give more preparation time to my forehand.

I think, that’s all mga Kabarkada. I hope you learn something from the simple discussion, even if you are not a medium pips player. It’s best to apply this in your game, particularly if you are matched with a class B or intermediate-level player.
