Any stronger spin will override the spin that's on the ball. Otherwise you have to account for the spin. But really... you need to develop your own serves, yours are super weak. Serves don't need to be deceptive, just strong in their pace, spin (or no spin), and placement, so you can play the point your way on the return. The better you will be at serves - the better overall play will be as well. Also I see very poor anticipation and footwork, you are not getting to the ball/into a position.

That was good, especially considering the opponent is playing pretty wild and unpredictable AND has long pips to boot. Just go to the loo next time. You can't keep track of the spin of the ball when your mind is spinning around your balls.

What I see in this match, is: 1. High risk shots aren't a problem at all, you already lose basically every point on serve or on serve receive. Nothing afterwards matters in any way. 2. As lt.kettch mentioned, you're not supposed to / can't focus on stuff like footwork during a match anyways. 3. Forehand blocks aren't a problem at all, the actual blocks you can hit during this match are phenomenal. When you don't manage to block, it isn't the block's fault - you already lost the point beforehand, the predetermined result just happened to fully manifest when coincidentially you also happened to try and play a block. 4. Kelvin doesn't have a 3rd ball attack pattern. In this match, you have a pattern of not just enabling, but basically encouraging him to attack you every time you touch the ball, by both placement and length of your shots. When he serves he can attack on 3rd ball since you touched the 2nd ball. When you serve he attacks the 2nd ball because you touched the 1st. He does nothing to encourage you to do this. He does not have a special tactic or spin that would set up a 3rd ball attack from him. 5. Kelvin wasn't in control of this match, you were. He was just reacting to you. To win this (unless Kelvin is holding back), you don't have to pay any attention to Kelvin at all - he took no decisions or actions that were any relevant to the outcome of this match, except making a ton of unforced errors to give you some points for free. If you see any patterns in him, that means that you have a pattern in you that he always reacts the same to. So you first need to pay attention to your own patterns. I think that'll level up your game way more and easier. How to begin fixing it: -------------------------- Terminology: "long" = a shot that bounces once on the opponents side of the table before crossing the endline. "short" = a shot that bounces three times or more on the opponents table before crossing the endline. "half-long" = a shot that bounces exactly twice on the opponents side of the table, the second bouce ideally being close to the endline. -------------------------- I do recommend that in the next match, and training leading up to the next match (no matter the opponent), you focus on these things: A) If you serve, always fully focus on your serve being half-long. Never long or short. A2) Whenever you push, always fully focus on your push being half-long. Never long or short. B) Whenever you counter or attack, always fully focus on placing it on the centerline of the table, preferably long, close to the end of the table. During match, only focus on the above. Practice footwork only if it's necessary to help you play half-long, or aim attacks down to middle. Only focus on length when serving or pushing for now, you can place it left/right/middle however you feel best in the moment. (When you watch this match, you can see that your placements in this match are the anti-patterns to these "recommended" patterns: - You always serve long to his forehand side, enabling him to easily attack all the serves, since he LOVES attacking long balls with his forehand. - Kelvin always serves diagonally to your backhand, you again almost always receive long to his forehand side, despite this not being necessary or easier than just pushing back diagonally. Again, long forehand = he LOVES it and easily attacks every one of your receives. - When you manage to attack on your own, you almost always place it diagonally to this forehand side, which you can see him anticipate easily every time, because its highly repetitive. Whenever you accidentially play to the centerline, you make the point. (This is not unique to Kelvin, every player except maybe penholder players (or Leanne...) will have the most trouble with placement at the center of their side. The corners are really easy to react to and only effective if you play extreme angles / risk a lot or have moved them out of position before.)

Wow... What kind of crazy ping pong deathmatch club are you a part of where a timeout is required to use the bathroom when there's a need??? 😮 He didn't let you go even after the match was over 😂 Even though your BH felt off, you FH seemed to be doing well. Given the situation, you didn't do too poorly. With regards to losing the lead in game 4, I think a timeout would have helped; try to arrest his momentum. Relying more on your FH over your BH because it was showing to be more consistent. Taking advantage of the innate properties of long pips: the inability to significantly impart spin, predictable spin reversals, difficulty attacking short/low balls. Also taking advantage of the fact that most pips players try to receive serves with their pips side, sometimes even at the cost of positional advantage. Lastly... call time and go to the restroom...

I think your observation for point 2 is correct... Ideally, a player would focus on one aspect of their game during training and it will manifest naturally during gameplay. Diverting too much attention to any one thing (except maybe watching the contact point during an opponent's serve?) will probably slow a player down to their detriment. For now, just play relaxed and try to implement broader strategies (be more aggressive vs adjust your paddle angle to 35.75353° when looping).

Not much you could do but good job hanging in there! Something to study: Watch the way he accelerates his paddle on contact during serves. Even though the motion is small, there's good acceleration which translates to good spin. A lot of people get distracted by the ball toss during the serve. Keep your attention on the opponent's paddle and watch for subtle motions during contact. Is contact early and cutting down? Is it late and pulling up? Is the contact at 6 o clock (directly under the ball, pure backspin) or at 3 o clock (almost completely sidespin) or somewhere in between? There are 2 general ways to deal with sidespin: go against the spin or go with the spin With regards to serves, it's easier to return short if you go with the spin. For long returns, it's fine to use either. For example, if the serve is a regular pendulum serve, contact is on the right from your pov and looks like it's spinning clockwise from top down view. Going with the spin means brushing to the left (clockwise), similar to the concept of loop in a backspin, but sideways. To be honest, this is my preferred way of dealing with sidespin and it feels easier for me to control the position of the ball. Going against the spin in this situation is hitting on the *right* (edit: correction) side of the ball, using blade angle to mitigate the effect of the spin. This is like playing topspin vs topspin. If you block a topspin ball, it'll want to jump off your paddle, just like a pendulum serve makes the ball want to jump off your paddle to the right from your pov. Nate seems like a good player, one of the best I've seen on your channel at least in terms of service quality. To be honest, he wasn't playing to his full ability so I'm just estimating based on the quality of his serves, his footwork, the mechanics of his swing, and the way he reacts to your good attacks. That being said, I don't think his level is too much out of reach for you.

Agree with the observations in your description: quality of the pushes were generally good, overall play was a little too passive. If you watch some of your recent games vs Joseph, you did better when you were asserting controlled aggression. Ideally, you can finish the point before he gets the chance to attack. Something I noticed, your pushes were losing quality starting the middle/late of game 2 and was on and off during game 3. It looked like you were trying to be more aggressive game 3 but was vacillating between attacking and pushing into the late game, causing you to hesitate for a split second, showing you down. If your going to try to change the tempo, commit and go for it! Remember to favor hitting forward (sometime forward and a little down) instead of brushing the high balls. Your black side looks like it could use a cleaning ha ha. I can see the sweet spot in the middle of the rubber was a different sheen than the rest of the rubber. Remember to maintain your rubber between games and after sessions to keep as much consistency as possible! Try to hit through or brush over the top of those spinny high arc FHs early in the bounce. A patient block is (as you've experienced) going to fly off the table. When you see him wind up and pull back, it's going to be a lot spinner than usual! You got some good attacks in when you committed, be courageous and attack!

Remember to "pull" with the BH when you're closer to the table. A lot of misses were because of too much "hit". Remember to slow down before you serve. Lots more unforced errors and lets than usual. Decide when your first bounce will be based on where you want your second bounce to be. Better offense compared to the game with Joseph (comments are turned off for that video btw). When you block fast attacks, try not to add force and hit it, rather, try to gently "guide" the ball back. Lastly, be careful not to get pulled into your opponent's pace. Overall, nice game, hopefully more wins as you get more comfortable with the stuff you're working on!

======================================== 3rd ball attacks ======================================== Player: attempts (successful) --- set 1 --- Joseph: 4 (2) Ben: 1 (1) --- set 2 --- Joseph: 5 (4) Ben: 0 --- set 3 --- Joseph: 3 (2) Ben: 2 (1) 3rd ball attacks total: Joseph: 12 with a success rate of 66%, out of 26 serves, took initiative/control on 46.1% of their own serves Ben: 3 with a success rate of 66%, out of 24 serves, took initiative/control on 12.5% of their own serves 5th ball attacks in total (only occurred in 1st set): Joseph: 2 with a a success rate of 50% Ben: none How successful were the players in using their service advantage to set up an attack opportunity, and how often did they capitalize on it? - Both players have the same potentially match-winning success rate when being aggressive (making a point with 66% likelyhood on attempt is clearly a winning move), so the player who simply only attempts this move more often is likely to score more points and hence the match. - For both players, the success rate per set is never lower than 50%, so none of them could possibly lose a set by playing this move every time. - Joseph executes this move with 400% the attempt rate of Ben, with more attempts than Ben in every single set. - If a safety push was played on the 3rd ball (which is frequent and entirely normal / okay on this level) Joseph is infinitely more likely to retry gaining the initiative on 5th ball. If Ben doesn't attack on 3rd ball, he never attacks (or gets another opportunity to) again. - Ben plays an entire set without ever even attempting to attack on his own serve once (New rubbers are no excuse, you can't learn them if you don't even attempt to attack with them once.)

This was painful to watch. My 2 cents: 1. Instead of 50 ml Free Chack (or any other "table tennis glue" by any other brand), you can get a 1000ml bottle of Liquid Latex for the same price, ya know the milky-white natural sap of the rubber tree. It's literally the exact same stuff. 2. Try to "clean" your glasses by rubbing your hands/fingers all over them instead of using a microfiber cloth. That's what you are doing to.your blade. You're just giving it a thick anti-stick coating of skin-protecting fat, symbiotic bacteria and dead skin particles, and the glue won't stick well to that peculiar human/wood composite material. Trust me, been there done that. Just use some dry kitchen paper instead. 3. Wet glueing is not the intended way to use that... you're meant to let all the water evaporate instead of eternally trapping it inside your sponge and wood. Think of applying two dry layers of velcro, and then sticking them together at the end. This is a video I usually recommend: ua-cam.com/video/bYBOo8vOSVw/v-deo.html 4. If you look at exactly the 5 minute mark of your video, there are already two bumps starting to form on the top edge, really visible in the reflection - that 's the rubber seperating from the blade again, which would be logical, because you applied strong pressure at the edges away from the wood by pressing a definitely-not-sharp cutter into the sponge while the glue right next to your cutting location wasn't remotely fixed yet. 5. No matter if wet or dry, either way you used waaaay to much glue, like ten to twenty times the amount you'll ever need. Always have a little bowl and some kitchen paper on your table to press excess liquid out of your application sponge or remove some from your blade. Never push puddles of liquid latex around the edges onto your topsheet or between topsheet and sponge, as can be seen at 2:40. Also, you don't even need to put enough glue on to even reach the corners of the rubber sheet, because by the way: You're cutting those off anyways... 6. When using a cutter, always make sure it's actually sharp (test cut one of the rubber's corners and feel if there's much resistance to your blade), then always go fully around several times: First one pass very lightly to simply get a thin starting cut through the glue layer into the sponge, a second pass through the sponge, a third to carefully cut the topsheet. It will look more like lasercut by an inhuman machine and much less like torn to shreds by a raging Godzilla. I still also like curved scissors too because of speed and ease of use. tho 6.b) Don't use a stupid thin cutting mat, use your local table tennis shop's biannual print catalogue and really let the cutter dig in. That's what they get printed for. 7. May I ask why you got these rubbers and think they're an "upgrade", and what are they upgrading exactly? Like, how will you know if they "work" for you, what's the measureable metric of success? I'm not protesting, these are made in a factory not far from where I live, so thanks for supporting the local economy of my count(r)y by buying our notoriously over-engineered luxury products, we appreciate that a lot, just wondering why the devil people recommend these to you specifically over, say for example, a small stack of solid tried-and-a-billion-times-proven 5$ chinese ittf-approved training rubbers (Say Yinhe Mercury 2, Loki Rxton 1, Sanwei Ultraspin, DHS PF4, 729 Cross, Reaktor Tornado V5, and sooo-many-more) with which you can practice glueing with much less financial risk, are durable to last a long time, and at the same time help people exactly like you all over the world practice basic playing techniques very effectively?

you should be trying to target leannes forehand, as you can see she tends to try to drive the ball with her backhand istead of using forehand. reasom being is because shes hardbat reliant, so targeting the forehand makes it a whole lot harder for her

OH DEAR... Um... I don't know exactly what the instructions were for free check but... Usually with water based glue you need to wait till both sides dry (you can tell when it turns clear). If you put it together when it's wet, it won't stick well and you'll have patches of unevenness which will affect the consistency of your hits (usually manifesting in dead spots on your paddle). On the German forums, there are people who are proponents of wet gluing, but you need to press it with consistent pressure over a long period of time.

When you pull a rubber off, it might be safer to pull it off at a diagonal but not along the grain which might cause splintering. Some blades come lacquered or sealed from the manufacturer and that protects the top ply but some do not and, if it is a soft wood like limba, it is more prone to pulling up pieces if you pull the rubber off along the grain

There's some really good stuff going on! Did you notice the effectiveness of serving to zones 1 3 7 and 9? 1:14 2:31 3:16 4:40. Conversely, note what it's like when people do it to you, your reaction, and what you can do with that info. Occasionally they pop high though i.e. 3:00 3:43 4:13. At this point, if you have to choose between height and placement, choose height! Good pulling feeling starting mid way through game 1 though you seem to be on and off during the second half of game 3. Take a breath to reset and remember what you were doing before. Stay collected and don't rush! Some good blocking sprinkled throughout. 👍 Pushing looks smoother in general. I'll admit I was looking at mostly the ball quality/height (which seemed much better for the most part) more than your footwork or contact timing. 5:56 - so cruel dealing psychological damage here... For your friend, his timing on his off the bounce attacks is a little too early. In general, if he waits slightly longer (7:25 vs 7:34), his percentage of success should increase without much loss of offensive pressure. All in all, a nice win with good application of principles 👍

Inspiring to watch. Keep it up!

hello. been a while huh. youve gotten a lot better, but now you tend to sometimes move too far back. so try not to do that too much, instead at most maybe half a step back. like for example at 2:42 you mobed back for no apparent reason. another thing is that when you block with your forehand, you tend to flick it down a little bit, which is why its so inconsistent. imstead, you should try to keep it firm at one spot, as if you were lining up to hit a golf ball

I just noticed Kelvin alternates placing the ball left, right, or to your elbow. So he makes you move around a lot, not giving you any comfortable shots. It looks like he is careful not to give an attackable ball to your forehand, so he will hit it short to your forehand, or move you closer to the backhand side before attacking the forehand. It's a really good strategy that maximizes consistency and game control.

As a side note, make sure your serves don't dip below the table level. It could just be the camera angle though.

Tournaments are such a different experience from regular play. There's the pressure of winning, and you will likely play someone for the first time, and often using a room and table you're unfamiliar with. It's the ultimate worst-case scenario, which makes it the greatest test of your skill. All things considered, you did very well!

Nice to see you continuing to add to your repertoire. Fast, no spin serves are great for clutch situations, especially when you've been serving half long or short most of the time. Good idea trying to use your pushes to limit his attacks. Against strong players, they'll usually attack long pushes (maybe with the exception of pushes to their transition point) so short, wide, short & wide pushes are more effective in limiting their attacks. Good job stepping forward more on your pushes. Remember to keep your elbow pretty close to your torso so you're pushing straight and not from the side. That should help consistency a bit. Also, remember what the proper push timing is! Movements and swings are looking more and more natural and comfortable so that's good. It's hard to judge improvement when you're playing against a very good player but the fact that you look relaxed is a good thing. I liked that you still attacked when you had the chance... Sometimes it's hard to do that vs a strong player so you did well

Do you remember our discussion regarding having a loose wrist and how squeezing the fingers naturally moves the wrist? It sounds like that's what your friend is trying to work on right now. Maybe you can pass him our notes. It might be the case that my eyes aren't fast enough but it looks like he's pulling his wrist up and down (it makes his paddle look like it's standing perpendicular to his forearm 0:07 0:24 0:47 1:08 3:58 4:27). From what I was taught, from a relaxed forehand where the paddle is at rest in line with your forearm, adding wrist is more like twisting open a bottle of soda where the wrist rotates the hand and the thumb applies "downward twist" and the index finger applies "upward twist". Not sure if that makes sense... Combined with breaking, it is a very small but quick motion and makes the paddle look like it is arcing/hugging/covering over the top of the ball. The quick motion over a small distance adds acceleration and that adds more spin... In addition, at 0:05 0:28 2:31, etc, if you play back at 50% speed, you can see his elbow is not stable and rises up quite a bit (sometimes higher than his wrist, a hooking down motion during follow through). This is indicative that he's using a lot of shoulder to generate power, which can lead to injury! It also introduces a lot variables and can lead to consistency issues He keeps his elbow more stable and in line with the plane of his swing at 0:22 1:51 2:47 although the wrist action still looks a little strange. In any case, he's a good player with lots of experience so I'm sure he'll be able to execute what he's trying to learn in no time.

One more thing: as you work on placement, take note of where the opponents typically return for each zone and start trying to anticipate their returns. Use your serves to try to force returns to where you want the ball to go. One more place to serve to is their transition point but these should be fast or it'll be an easy return for them

Keep at it and don't get discouraged! A lot of players think practicing service is boring but good quality serves are essential. As the level of your opponents improves, aces are going to be less common but a good serve will set you up for the third ball attack, prevent opponents from taking the offensive, and (incidentally) improve your serve receives through increased understanding of service mechanics. Take a second to run through your mental checklist before you serve. Spin, speed, height, placement, opponent. Don't rush your serve. It's the only time in a game where you have 100% control

GGs, Ben! Looking forward to our rematch.

Nice W!

Nice match, a well deserved win due to mental fortitude. Good job persisting and working out your FH. If you review the video, you'll see he starts avoiding you FH a lot more and start placing to you BH. Something to analyze: The general correlation between where you place your serve and where he places his return, especially prior to your FH fix. We know that he's going to try to push to your forehand as much as possible because he perceives that as your biggest weakness. So why, on some returns, is he unable to push to your FH? That's the power of serve placement! After a big match, it's probably best to relax and play for fun but if you HAVE to work on something, here's a few things but try not to do too much at once: 1 - continue working on controlled aggression. Attack when you see the chance but not at 100% power (80% max or you're control suffers!) 2 - don't reach for the ball. Remember the strike zone is in 3 dimensions. Move it to the ball or wait for the ball to come to it. 3 - service. Aim for zones 1, 3, 7, and 9. After you toss the ball, wait for it to drop to as close to net level as possible before hitting it. That will help keep them low. Be mindful of where the first bounce should be for the serve you want to do. 4 - a big part of serve receive is mobility. Make sure "staying low" doesn't detract from your ability to move to the ball. Stay loose. If you're too tense, you can't move quickly All in all, a good match! It's showing that the potential is there and you're gaining the tools to tap into that potential.

Nice one, Ben!

In our group match, Leanne beat me, I beat Josh, and Josh beat Leanne. This led to a 3 way tie in our group. Because I won the fewest games, I was eliminated and didn't advance to the single elimination tournament, unfortunately. However, Josh advanced all the way to the finals and won 2nd place! He won the U1500 tournament and 2nd in the U1800. He text me and told me he only lost two matches this day. This match you see here, and the finals match of this tournament. That made me feel pretty good!

"Dont get cute with it, stay handsome". This is a new favorite quote haha. This was a fun match to watch. Good win ben.

0:38 - nice angle on that FH. A bit risky but you pulled it off well 0:40 - footwork improving! Especially the hop back and the hop to the left for your BH at 0:48 (the second one. first BH, t feel like it would have been better as a FH, especially since your FH was performing better up to this point in the game) 0:45 - good increase in BH quality. Compared with your first few BH, these were much better 0:57 - remember to hit the ball as low as possible when you're serving to keep it from going high 1:07 - Good shot choice, very much encourage the aggression. Issue was that you carry the ball upwards not forwards. Note where your follow-through ended and you'll see that you carried upwards too much, especially considering the ball was coming to you relatively high. 2:02 - Note the starting position of her serve. It limits wide angles to your backhand side. Therefore you should change your receive's starting position to cover the wide forehand a bit more. 2:08 - nice change up on you BHs 2:14 & 3:21 - nice FH flick. Would definitely pick that as the next skill to work on when you have extra bandwidth 2:29 - good tactics. Because you're changing the line, you can trade a little bit of quality/aggression for placement. You don't need as much aggression because your goal is not to blast the ball past the opponent but to place the ball in a location that they cannot return from. 4:37 - that was a little wild ha ha 4:54 - very nice FH All in all, a good match 👍

Just watched the first few points, I liked the pulling/guiding motion on both wings. FH was just right, BH could use a little more sharpness/aggression... just a little bit more. Compare the FH and BH ar 0:16. You have more power and racket speed on the FH but the BH was just a touch too tentative I can tell this is going to be a good match 🔥

Great matches

Good match. Was glad to see you attack those opportunity shots. Good observation at 4:25. Notice how, the more you twisted, the lower the push quality became. I think you needed to move both feet so you were behind the ball like at 4:22, then step forward with your right. Maybe instead of telling yourself to "move the right leg" you can think "get closer behind the ball" and let your right leg move naturally. I noticed you were pretty upright on a lot of your pushes. Over the table stuff (pushed, flicks, etc), it really benefits to bend forward and get low. It helps you get closer to the ball, creates space for backswing, and helps bring your eyes closer to ball height. At 4:17, a controlled block would have been good enough to win the point. I think you got a bit anxious and went for a big swing when all you needed to do was stick your paddle out.

bad footwork and strikes. Should learn the basics first.

Have you had a chance to talk to some of your club mates about how to add more spin to your serves?

Some things I noticed: When you push over the table, you're stepping off to the side instead of forward (see 0:01 vs 0:05). Try to focus on having the ball "bite" into the rubber, like you used to before your break. It looked like you were just putting the paddle under the ball and that's contributing to the lack of control. Remember! Try to push early off the bounce. When you're trying to lift backspin, especially with your BH, it looked like you were almost always using just your wrist, possibly because you were reaching? (0:11, 1:13, etc) Lastly, remember the pulling feeling when your trying to add spin!

Ben, do you take lessons at all?

Remember that your strike zone is not just for height and side to side but also for depth! It seemed like you were reaching for the ball more than usual so... You can either wait longer for the ball to move into your strike zone or move to the ball and place it in your strike zone. But... We all know the real reason you're not performin: You didn't turn your hat backwards...

Like Ben mentioned, I played everyone really passively. I felt like many players were too aggressive (myself included), so I wanted to try something new. It helped me to play a bit more consistently, but it was punish by those who could read the spin and attack the higher balls. I'll definitely go back to my regular style. Good luck in the tournament!

#dadlife 😁 Don't forget to give your gear a thorough examination and cleaning before the tournament. -Remember which zones to serve to. Take a moment before each serve to collect yourself. -Don't worry too much about stance and footwork. Just move naturally so the ball is in your strike zone. -Watch the ball until it contacts your paddle and be patient, don't panic and reach forward. -Be aggressive but don't force it. -If you feel like the ball is going out or into the net too much, prioritize spinning the ball and creating a bit more arc first. "Good luck, we're all counting on you." -Rumack and... "Remember what Vince Lombardi said: If you lose you're out of the family!" -Homer

All of you guys toss the boll high enough when you serve

You telegraph that left to right spin serve from a mile away 😅

THE SCORE!!! I knew you’d start adding it 👍🏻

I just watched the first rally and I know it's going to be a good one ha ha Thanks for keeping score for us 😁

Day and night difference in your play in this game, for motivation just watch your previous match with Jun and you will see that his 3rd ball attacks reduced significantly, GREAT job with returns! There is a reason why I chose Jun as the next opponent you will be able to beat in your poll ;) A few people have mentioned it, but I think your serves are a bit sloppy and needs some work especially your backhand serves. I think you need to focus a bit more on your serve choice, placement, length and motion. I think you should try to keep your backhand serve motion more compact, good examples of this are 0:20 and 2:00 , and avoid backhand motion serves where your arm motion is exaggerated. A very bad example of this is at 3:05 where every element combines to make it not so good i.e. a loose wrist action, your arm that doesn't pull back after serving, a somewhat predictable topsin motion, and the placement (mid-long) that is perfect for a forehand attack shot. If you want some backhand serve inspiration watch this video of Darko Jorgic (one of the best backhand servers/backhand dominated players), you will see that his backhand serve is a lot more compact ua-cam.com/video/_wZ8Qqi5IoU/v-deo.html . Summary: Keep with amazing serve returns and avoid excessive arm/wrist motion when performing backhand serve.

how is she holding the bat :)

Great video! Looking back, it's amazing to see how your form has developed in just 3 months.

Forehand pushing and attacking more. A Good rule of thumb is to never push a long ball that goes to your forhand. Loop that every time !!! You will be killing to birds with one stone, it's actually harder to push a long ball on the forhand side then loop it.

Video suggestion: edit together a 'best shots of the month' video. Also, I'd appreciate it if you displayed the score of the game on each final point.

That's right. Sweep the leg.
