Learning how to control pace changed my game completely

I was watching an episode of the Changeover Podcast with Nuno Borges and he said some things about Medvedev's games tyler that I thought were pretty cool, like deliberately hitting slower balls on purpose to buy himself time for the next shot.

As a counterpuncher, this advice has changed my game. I'd often hit too fast and be unprepared for the next ball that came if it was a good one. Instead, now my retrieval game has been much better, and tactically choosing to attack has taken away 50% of unforced errors out of my game, without giving up lollipops for the opponent like I used to.

Anyone who plays mildly defensive like me should try this out (although it does require a lot of running).
