Muscle Pong STRUGGLES Against HIGH SCHOOLER (1600 Lefty Kid)

Josh Zhou (1714) vs Brad Teng (1600)
In this match, I play against Brad Teng, one of the few kids who trains at my club and who I've played against many times in the past.
Brad has very solid fundamentals and is good at opening up first and rallying on both wings.
I was quite shell shocked since I hadn't played Brad for a while and he opened up every single shot first this game which caught me by surprise.
This match is at the 2024 Butterfly SPTTC April Open in Bellevue, Washington.

In the second set you started tensing up a lot and didn't attack at all.

you can beat this guy next time. most of your serves were long and off the table. He attacked most of them, which put you on the back foot. your attack is good. force him to push by serving short with varying knuckle and underspin, he'll have to push your serve, which should set up your 3rd ball attack. Good luck!

Appreciate the feedback man - looking back all my serves did go off the table 😅
