Strategy
I play against a slammer with good backspin. He's also good at using backspin close to the table. I can attack against backspin quite well but sometimes I miss. What would be the best way to play?
Hi Steven,
You should try to keep the ball short to start with and wait till he gives you a long ball to make a topspin. You should practice this stroke a lot as it is a vital stroke in Table Tennis.
The main focus needs to be on getting the first attack since he has a good attacking stroke.
Take a look again at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin. This may give you some tips on improving the stroke.
Don't struggle against antispin players. Use this tips to stay in control of the situation and understand what type of spin is on the ball during the rallies.
