Strokes
Sir,
When I look at the video clips of Waldner, I noticed that his backhand loop is always followed with a backhand smash stroke (seems more flat than spinny) or he moves to hit a forehand topspin. In modern table tennis it seems that players like zhang Jike and Timo Boll always go for the spinny shots even after their backhand opening loop. Backhand topspin strokes are likely to go wrong especially from mid distance.
Hi Dhaval,
The next ball is a matter of preference. You can hit it flatter or more topspin. For more safety you can use the topspin or if you want to try and finish the rally then play a flatter faster ball. Waldner had a particularly good Backhand punch.
How should you move if you are a defender. The footwork is quite different to that of an attacker because you have a lot more distance to cover. However, we will show you the simple movement patterns that will help you to be able to cover the whole court effectively.
