Hey Alex,
That’s good to hear that the tactics changes helped you win more easily! I would say its always best to try and stay close in most situations and dominate up close and control the table. This means you’ll more often have the chance to force your opponent away and get control and play stronger attacks.
Of course sometimes you will need to drop back a bit and give yourself more time if their shots are landing deep and aggressive. But most of the time I would try to get used to staying close and being comfortable in that area which will give you the advantage against most players!
Dan 🙂
