If you’re an older player competing in local leagues, you are likely to face opponents who are 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years younger than you. These players are faster, move a lot more and have lots of energy. How can you beat these younger players? Help is at hand! In this video coach Emma Harradine gives some tips for how older players can beat younger players. Tips include staying up to the table, shortening your strokes, targeting the hip, winning points quickly and analysing your opponent.
