Hi Besho,

This is a very good tactic and understanding this will allow you to improve your game well.

The basic idea is that if the ball is only going to bounce once on your side of the table it is definitely time to make an attacking topspin.  This is something that can be trained by doing some simple training drills that you will find in Training Secrets Revealed DVD.

This will give you a lot of different ways to practice what is called 'Third Ball Attack'.

The dimensions of a Table Tennis Table are 2.74 metres by 1 525 m.  The surface of the table is 76cm off the floor.  The net is 15.25 cm.

All of this information and lots f other information on the Rules  can be found in our Rules of Table Tennis lesson.
