AVERAGE LEVEL OF PLAY IN PADDLE
– Level 3.0: The fans already make flat and cut shots, the serve and the rest are taking shape, the volleys are acceptable, we strengthen the rebounds on the wall … That is, our paddle begins to be more consistent.
– Level 3.5: Very similar to the previous one. The main differences are that the direction given to the different blows is better controlled and that the ball speed that we are capable of holding is much higher. In turn, we are also better positioned according to the partner.
– Level 4.0: From this point, we can already talk about experienced players who are very reliable in most of the so-called basic hits (right, backhand, both volleys, serves, rest and balloons) and who are developing blows such as the descent of wall on both sides and the tray. The air play ceases to be a problem because the shots begin to come out with the right power and direction. One of the most common causes of loss of points is the lack of patience and the bad reading of the wall rebounds that enter the other way round.
– Level 4.5: Let’s list the things that the player is already capable of doing in each hit as well as the facets of the game that he can master:
Right: Very reliable. Use speed, control and variety of strokes with depth.
Reverse: You can control direction and depth but suffers when defending difficult shots.
Take out and rest: Take out with placement and control, committing few double faults. Use power and cut balls. His remains are aggressive and in control.
Volleys: It is positioned well on foot, controls rallies on the volleys. He has power, control and depth in the right volleys but he still makes mistakes when playing with power.
Rebounds: Good descent of right wall. As for the reverse slope, get depth and placement
Other hits: Get final shots, getting to take the ball by 4 in some occasions. It is no longer strange that I get left volleyed.
Therefore, it could be said that his style of play is based on hits with relative power and good coverage on the court. You can start to vary the game depending on the opponent. It presents an aggressive game on the net, with good anticipation.
