Play the percentage shots and be consistent is a very key thing. Winning the big shots can be fun but not if that shot has a 25% chance to go in. Wear the other player down with consistent shots and put them on the defensive and they will be the ones with poor composure making the mistakes.

Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
