Strategy
Hi PingSkills, Today I met a guy who defends really well. He can almost chop every shots of mine in a close-to-table position. Can you give me a good tactic against this type of player?
Hi Viet,
These sort of players rely on your speed. Slow the ball down until you are ready to make a wining shot. Also you can pushy he ball to their backhand side if they are not able to attack. Then pick the ball that you want to attack.
Often a good place to attack them is to their middle, under their armpit. Because they are close to the table it will be difficult for them to defend.
If you're having trouble returning a smash, you are not alone. The secret is to stop your opponent from attacking in the first place. Improve your short game and you will become the attacker!
