Hey pingskills i was wondering if there is a way to find out what kind of player i would be. I dont know if im a offensive or defensive player. I play like an offensive player but usually i serve or return the first hit and its like i automatically start walking away from the table and get myself into a defensive position.

Hi Evander,
It sounds like you are an allround player.
A definition of your style is not that important. Find ways that you like to play.

Alois is right it does not matter one bit what style you are. What you need to do is play against all kinds of players with weird and wonderful styles over and over again. This will help you play against anyone and make you more comfortable against people with all styles. Experience in this area is vital for excellent play.
Also practice all kinds of styles yourself over and over again so you find which one you are comfortable with. It is important to be able to play all styles yourself as some players find certain styles very hard to play against and combat. This also will improve your tactics as they are very important in all your matches.
