Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Replace Grips Often

    Change overgrip when it feels slippery — wet grips cause mishits and wrist strain.

  • Check String Tension

    Log string type, tension, and date — tension loss affects control and arm comfort.

  • Carry Backup Gear

    Pack an extra overgrip, dampener, and towel for every match.

Safety Notes

  • Warm up for 10 minutes before play to prevent muscle strains.
  • Stay hydrated — heat exhaustion risk increases in outdoor play above 30°C (86°F).
