Strategy

Do you recommend topspin-ing mid-distance? If not, is there a reason why?

Hi Romeo,

Some players like to play from mid distance so that is OK.  It also works well against players that like the ball coming fast to them.

It depends on how fast your opponent his the ball and how quickly you can get to it.
