Attacking from angles
Strategy
Ciaran Rueda Asked 11 years ago
I have a friend who often, when I am not expecting it, plays the ball fast to the side of the table. I have trouble getting it back so that he can't smash it. I also don't know if there is a way to attack from this angle. Thanks, Ciaran.

Hi Ciaran,
You should first think about making good position with your feet and then making a topspin stroke back to him. You should try to go wide back to him so that his only option next is to play it back across court. The shot down the line is a really difficult one to play.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
