Counter attack as a defender
Strategy
Someone Anyone Asked 4 years ago
Hi,
i have seen defenders counter-attacking with their forehand, but i think that because attacker is more closer to the table, he would attack more effectively. Is counter-attacking as a defender a good option?

Hi,
Yes counterattacking as a defender makes it more awkward for the attacking player usually.
If the attacking player can get into a rhythm of attacking and controlling the rally then the defenders attack can break that up.
Often the attack of a defender is a little different to a usual topspin attack so it is something that the attacker doesn't see very often.

If you're having trouble returning a smash, you are not alone. The secret is to stop your opponent from attacking in the first place. Improve your short game and you will become the attacker!
