last words on this. it should never take 1minute and absolutely not a minute and one half to hit any shot. people are either overthinking it or spending to much time and attention to the overused and annoying chat box.
Congratulations, you just told the world one way on how to beat you! There is a very interesting study that you should read. Sports psychology, your opponent was playing within the rules of the game, but not your rules. It upset you, the more that he delayed the game, the more upset you got, he now sucked you into his game. Better players are harder to beat, so people look for a winning edge, by getting into your head. He succeeded, or you wouldn't be in here complaining. Tiger almost always wears a red shirt on Sundays tourneys, why? Red is a power color, is shows others aggressiveness, and dominance, it's proven to raise your opponents blood pressure, heart rate, and makes them reach way out of their abilities to try to beat you. Thats when most people screw up, by trying to hard, you now play faster to speed the game up. Best advice is to just sit back, resign yourself to a longer game, play your best, and enjoy the game. Don't let them get into your head, once they do, they have beaten you! Even if you win, your still upset, and they have beaten you in that respect! Have fun, this game is a great time waster.
