Hi Alois and Jeff,
What is the basic tactic when I place the ball on the opponents' table? Should I place them on the forehand and backhand side alternately?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Archel,
I think you need to consider your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
If they are particular strong on one side and weak on the other, then you should concentrate a lot of balls on one side. If they are quite good on both sides then you can think about moving them from side to side. You can do this if their footwork isn't particularly good.
So the bottom line is work out their strengths and weaknesses and then work out your tactics for that player. Once you do find that out, use The PingSkills Vault to record the information so that you don't forget it.
