Attack first
Strategy
Merric Christ Raj Asked 8 years ago
Hi,
How can I start attaking my opponent first? He serves then he topspins the ball wherever I hit. But if I hit in the corner, he hits next to the net. Please give me an idea of attacking first.

Hi Merric,
The best way to stop him is by putting pressure on the first couple of balls in the rally. That is the serve and return of serve. Work on your serves to get them with more spin and lower and closer to the net.
With your return focus on topspinning any of his serves that only bounce once on your side of the table.
