Tactic combinations
Strategy
Paul Unknown Asked 17 years ago
Hello Jeff and Alois,
Could you tell me if there is any infomation available about table tennis combinations that seem to work often. As far as I understand each good player have like an arsenal of combinations of strokes that let him beat his opponents. Do you have combinations that you like more than others because they seem to work better for you?
Thanks,
Pavel.

Hi Pavel,
There are a few basic tactics that you need to follow. Sometimes you can think about combinations but you always need to remember that the other person can make different decisions with what you give them.
The basic tactic that I like to instill is to try to attack any ball that comes long on the table to you. By giving them a short serve that they find awkward you have a chance to get a long or high reply.
Watch the ball carefully because remember the other person can make different decisions with any given ball.
