Answer for When to go in for the kill

Hey Lem, that’s great that you can get back to your club and play now! Ok, so the first problem you mentioned about going for the killer shot to early and too often I would suggest really trying to think about placement and spin over speed. Try to test yourself to win points by forcing the opponent into mistakes rather than winning shots. I find really thinking about not missing before the first 5 shots are on the table and then you can allow yourself to go for a more positive shot.

The second part you mentioned I feel is linked really, so try to track the path of the ball with your eyes from your opponents bat up until it’s in front of you and before you make contact. Also as with the first problem just slowing yourself down and only concentrating on keeping the ball on the table will make you feel less rushed and as though you have more time.

I’m glad to hear you are getting more spin and the elbow snap has helped that’s great, hope the session goes well tonight and thinking about those small areas I mentioned will make a difference!
