Hi Gustav,

The secret of a good 3rd ball attack lies with the serves.  You are aiming to set up the ball with your serves.  Try to get a serve or series of serves that will make it difficult for your opponent to see what type of spin is on the ball.  This will lead them to perhaps returning the ball higher or to positions on the table that you can dictate.

Take a look at this tutorial on Third Ball Tips which is part of our Weeks 37 to 40: Third Ball Training Plans.  I think it will give you some insights.
