Offensive and defensive players

Strategy

patrick nuevas Asked 12 years ago

Hi ,

How will you know if your opponent is a defensive player or an offensive player ? What are their common moves or strokes ?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi PAtrick,

An Offensive player will try to use their topspin as much as possible during a match.

The Defensive player will rely on either Chop or Block strokes mainly to win points.

Will a defensive player be more doing these strokes away from the table or a bit near or near the table?

Sir alois, what about a balance player ? And which is better ? To be a offensive or deffensive ? Patrick, most of deffensive players are away from table but some of them are not it's about their own style but for sure, you can ask sir alois :D

Patrick,

The defensive player will usually be away from the table but they can also play defensive strokes from closer to the table. This can be awkward to deal with as well.
