Ryu vs chop
Strategy
D K Asked 9 years ago
Hello PingSkills Team
I have seen a video of Joo Sae Hyuk clashing with Ryu Seung Min,the Last Japanese penholder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oPrzoEII7Q
Joo lost terribly,although I think he did not play at his fullest.
I think he will lost anyway,but I think he would win some sets.
But if he should win fully,how should he play?
I just ask because I feel like him in many matches.
I feel like chopper vs. chopperkiller.

Hi DK,
I think he needs to attack a lot with his forehand against Ryu because Ryu has such a strong topspin against chop.

Ryu is said to have a 100% horizontal loop.
He seems to smash even the lowest chops.
I dont think it would help.....Yes,an option,but Joo is not fast enough and his strongest attacks are just a warming up for Ryu
Although I do not like Ruwen Filus,a German defender,I think that not like Joo,he was able to temporarily dominate Ryu.
I consider him weaker than Joo,but he can use his longpips more offensively.
About Joo-as his forehand,despite being strong,is no match for Ryu.
Is there any overall strategy against such a non-balanced player like Ryu?
