Close to the table play vs mid-distance

Strategy

hao jun Asked 10 years ago

Hi,

I would usually play close to the table.However, I realized that when I played against my friend who has a very powerful topspin i started going back a little. So,which is better as I've seen many professionals playing at mid-distance. If close to the table play is better what type of rubber is better, inverted or short pips.

Btw, I loop or flick very often.

Hi Hao,

You can change the distance to the table depending on your opponent. Get to a distance that feels comfortable for you and also troubles your opponent the most.

This is just a form of variation that you can introduce into your game.

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
