Hello ,

in a few days i got a tournament. One of the best players , and my first opponent , uses a lot of spin on the ball. What is the best tactic to counter his tactic? 

Thank you !

Hi Nick,

The forest thing is to get the ball back on the table from their spin ball.  Use the angle of your bat to return the ball by counteracting the type of spin on the ball. You can also try to make your own topspin shot.  If you brush the ball finely, it will tend to counter their spin.  It all depends on the type and amount of spin they are generating.

Good luck with the tournament.
