Hi Bobv,
No problem, we want to continue adding these type of videos for members as they are proving very popular. Firstly Satoshi Aida is a great player to base your game off, I actually played him this season in the British premier league and had a very good competitive game with him, he’s a high quality player. It can be a very effective style and also extremely enjoyable playing a mix of defence and attack which somebody like Satoshi does so well. For this style I would say you defend about 75% of the time roughly but are always looking to get a weak ball or create an opportunity for you to attack strongly.
On your points with serve it is quite tricky to serve a certain ball to get an attack or into a defensive zone because you can’t guarantee what the opponent will do with their returns of course. We’ll look at making a video on this topic for sure, but for now there are a coupe of things you can do. If your looking to get back into your defensive zone quickly then your best option is a short heavy backspin serve which limits their opportunities to attack strongly and means you are more likely to get a push back. If your looking to attack then a float/no spin serve or a heavy side spin serve would be your best option for getting a ball that sits up to attack with a topspin. Again you can’t guarantee that these scenarios will happen especially if the opponent is a strong returner but it gives you the best chance.
Hope those points will help, anything else on this topic just let me know!
