Difficulty getting used to new balls..
Play a lot of socials where balls are provided and found like I’d dialled In my lob during those matches consistently falling just short of the back glass.
Last night nothing changed but the balls, fresh out the pack exact same shot just clipping the bottom glass consistently, took me a set to get used to it and generally just felt much hotter off the face like they are at the right pressure and the social balls are probably a bit lower on pressure and not as hot off the racket.
How do people get used to this? Do people insist on using their own fresh balls in all forms of play so they’re used to a specific ball / pressure?
Or am I overthinking this? I’m a new player I’m not exactly some hyper consistent high level player but I noticed so many shots just had that bit more on them than I expected.
Do I leave more room for error on those lob shots so they’re deep but change in ball doesn’t cost me points or is this something you develop in time as you improve and get feel?
