playing 4th & 5th best Australian sisters

practice and patience?

Do you want to talk to Greg and ask his advise?

If greg's around for a few tips it would be good, but its tomorrow night.

her stances and swing looks like a semi-pro?

lol thats all i got. Im not an amazing player. And if you aren't being sarcastic haha then its cool. I understand if you are though

At the end of the table at an angle meaning off the corner or from the outside to the middle or whatever angle.. just work a harder angle so the ball bounces off the side of the table instead of the end of the table whenever you can.

I can't personally watch it right now because the computer I'm on is horrible. I can post something in regards to it later tonight.

I'm probably not a high enough rated player to provide great advice, but from what I've seen in women table tennis, women players play close to the table and almost hog the table. They hover all over the endline and don't really use their footwork well in working their way in for a kill shot.

For example. Frequently its a simple exchange of forehand to forehand, or backhand to backhand combinations, so the transitions from FH to BH and the consistency of the shots is what wins the game. Whoever is better at transitioning and whoever is better at consistency usually wins.  The games are also very rhythm oriented.

I would try to mix things up. First, when beginning to exchange you are essentially pinned in a specific part of the table, but neither sides usually step back to go for a kill shot after another return that is perhaps a bit weaker or simply closer to a power zone - such as a FH drive.

I've also not seen much wide angles used by women since their loops are more flat - single directional - traditional if you will. Just an upward curve then the ball lands, no side spin jumps. You can also mix things up instead of countering by trying to block the ball away from opponents power zones and force a weaker return.

Lastly, the rhythm does not have to remain the same, you can alternate higher angle spinnier shots for faster less spinnier ones. The utilmate goal  - force an opponent to err on reading the spin or speed.

I would suggest drilling these combinations so that you're ready to use a specific strategy on the fly without thinking.

Rerun the previous games in your head if you still recall them and see if you could have altered the strategy what would it be. Perhaps that would help you plan out the game.

yea you understand how she plays with the close to table hitting style mainly.

hey if you wanna get rid of one of the 64's.. let a brotha know!

I thought I knew what you were refering to mate.  If you were in Australia I'd sell it to you boys cost to me price.

Girls generally cant deal with spin. And if they loose a couple of points in a row they are in trouble. Just vary the spin and yell after you win a point, thats it. Make her nervous, DONT play a regular game. Try different things, do not push long but if you have to push long than you have to use some placement too, do not let Peri play her game. You cant beat a girl with a block-hit-flat loop game. Play a spin oriented game.
But if she's really better than you than just enjoy the game :)

ps: oh nevermind!.. I just watched that video, she's good, enjoy the game...

i cant really give advice on how to play her, but i saw peri up and close in sydney when she was playing the wah saing finals in market city.

she was playing with a primorac carbon, and her game is so fast, hogging the table and punching the opponent out of position.

the man you summed her right up there and thats what she does to me.

under 20 points in a 3 straight loss? hey thats still pretty good considering she is no.4 in national rankings
