Focus on a controlled person receives at the start of the match

(By means of Larry Hodges))

I had problems with his serve ”is probably the most common reason given for losing a competitive match. There is a good reason for this – receiving is the only time that the opponent can throw just about every turn to you, along with varied serving movements, placements, depths and speeds. I know that when I don’t get back, returned.

So when you enter a match when the opponent serves, your first priority should be to get used to his portions. In the beginning, that usually means focusing on pure control. Get it back first, usually play it safely, but with good placement, without worrying about being aggressive. If the opponent is difficult, you might have to play a lot of the match that way.

It is only if you feel comfortable against the opponent serving that you have to start your reception game. If you play someone you are used to, this might be from the start. If the opponent has very good, serves and perhaps not overwhelming attack, you could play safely all the time. But once you get used to serving an opponent, it is time to consider receiving a weapon where you use it to control the point, whether it is aggressive with loops and flips, or controlling playing by varying short and long pushes.

But only after you have familiarized with the serve of the opponent! If that never happens, you have to find someone with good serving like those who have given you problems and practice against them.
