At the club today

Only played a couple singles today. I'm mostly going back and working on my pushing and transition game.

I was able to play Siggi close by just serving backspin most of the time, and opening. Siggi started to be able to block them and I should have started varying my loops more. If I had served differently I would have done better.

I also played Jeff. I won a game with the normal point advantage, but was outmatched in the other games. We had some very fun rallies and I chopped a couple balls that managed to win me those points. I need to figure out a different way to play Jeff as my typical game doesn't work.

I was working on using my reverse pendulum serve today also. When I use this serve and serve short to the forehand I need to move to the center and be ready to play a wide forehand. In this situation against Jeff I was being pulled too wide from the table. I need to loop this closer to the table to be able to stay in the point.

I also have been having trouble recently looping forehands against backspin crosscourt from my backhand side. I think the main problem is just not being used to my new blade. I need to work on this again. It was my main winner before switching blades.
