Staying close to the table
Strategy
Paul Davenport Asked 8 years ago
Is it advantageous to keep close to the table during a rally?

Hi Paul,
In general it is better to stay closer to the table. It means that yo have less distance to cover laterally and also your opponent has less time to react to the next shot.
However some players like to stay a little further away from the table to give themselves more time with their strokes. Players that play with more spin and have bigger strokes fall into this category.
Also some players like to play slower shots tactically.
