Hi PingSkills

My style of playing table tennis is as an attacker

But when is the time to defense just like block or chop? As I only try to attack the ball as an attacker.

Hi Frendy,

If you play the ball long and they are able to make the attack, it is important to be ball to block or defend.  The best attackers have a very good defence as well.

Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
