Playing against an agressive player
Strategy
Samiul Ahsan Asked 7 years ago
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.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
