Pushing: I will miss this shot more than other players at my level. When I get in a pushing fight I feel uncomfortable and that I'll lose these points. My backhand is better than my forehand. If I get a heavy spin ball on my forehand that I want to push, I'll miss it more than I'll hit it. This weakness is partially covered up by my ability to loop backspin, but there are times where the ball is too short or I'm not ready to hit a forehand, so it'd be better to push and reset.

Off Table Defense: This is probably my biggest weakness in technique. I can lob in this situation, but is not a reliable shot. Chopping is even more unreliable. This is just something that I haven't practiced much. When I do get pushed off the table I try to spin my lobs back, and it works against players at my level, but can't control my placement well enough to rely on this.

Counter Looping/Off Table Offense: Not sure how much of a weakness this is. If I get pushed off the table by more than a step and a half, I can't generate much offense. Been trying to learn to loop at this distance, but is a work in progress. I can counter hit medium spin fast balls at this distance, but is a skill that needs much practice.

Slamming: I have a tendancy to miss too many slams against high balls. I know that I need to make sure to take lots of small adjustment steps when slamming, but I forget/get lazy a lot of times. I need to remember that on the first slam that I don't need to win the point, but use placement to get another weak return. Only when I am ready to slam and get a return that I really like should I go for a put away shot.

Shot Selection: Much of the time I don't choose to take the highest percentage shot in each situation, but instead get locked into looping and end up hitting this shot off balance. Also on return of service sometimes I should focus more on getting the serves back on the table any way possible rather than try for strong returns.

Mental Focus: I don't shut out the distractions of everything going on outside of the game I'm playing well. The difference between my peak concentration and average is huge. When I'm completely focused almost all the loops I attempt land. Also when I'm not focusing sometimes I'll take my forehands too far in front of my body.

Strategy: I don't adjust my game inside of matches very well. I get stuck in ruts sometimes trying to figure out why something isn't working by trying it over and over again. Also I don't think enough about how my opponent is going to return my shots, and have a response ready. Need to develop standard serve, third ball attacks I can depend on.
