Strategy
How do I deal with players with unorthodox ways of hitting the ball, especially in doubles?
Hi Aditya,
The most important thing is to treat each ball as it comes and learn from each ball that you hit. The reason they are difficult to play is that they are doing something that you are not used to seeing.
By watching each hit that you make you are learning more quickly what is happening. The more difficult hits to watch are the ones that you miss but these are the important ones to watch and learn from.
Most table tennis rallies last just 3.4 shots. So if you want to win more matches, you need to master the short game! In this episode of the PingSkills Show, you’ll learn why the short game is so important and how to control the first few shots to stop your opponent from attacking first.
Whether you’re struggling with your short push, not sure when to flick, or want to stop giving away easy attacks, this video will help you play smarter.
