How should you play?

Daniel Said Asked 15 years ago

Hi,

Let's say I play with a guy that never throws the ball off the table because he has very good control. How should I win or at least give him a hard time?

Hi Daniel,

Two options immediately come to mind. Firstly you could simply try to be more consistent than your opponent. Make sure that you simply don't miss before he does. Secondly you could try to over power your opponent and force him into a mistake. The option you choose really depends on how you enjoy playing the game.

With both options you need to try and figure out what your opponent doesn't like. Try placing your serve into different areas and then in the rally try and find out if they have more trouble when the ball is placed to their forehand, backhand or middle. Focus on making it as difficult as possible for your opponent.

Try these suggestions out and let us know if it helps you. Good luck!
