Hi alois, 

I wanna ask you about a player a player who is seemingly weak. But able to beat or even challenge a state level player. A player who has no real strokes, slow and clumsy can beat a state level player with fast footwork , good attacks and good serves. How to explain this?

This penhold player is slow, clumsy and weak but his opponent is a state player and he's being destroyed.

Hi Eugene,

Take a look at our previous discussions on How Can I Escape the Ping Pong Zone?.  I think this will help.

It is one of the beauties of our game that a veteran can still match it with a young fast player.
