How do I play against a player who mostly plays very close to the table and is good at smash and powerful topspin stroke?

Hi Samiul,

Try to play the ball deep initially on the table so that you force them back away from the table.  Then as they move away start to vary the depth of your topspin strokes.

Try to make the first attack when possible to stop them from using their strong topspin.

We have a tutorial on Playing An Attacking Looper in our "Playing Against" Series.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
