Hi PingSkills!

How do you attack a ball that is over the table during a rally (not the first five balls)? My opponents blocks it back with backspin so it is over the table.

Hi,

It is difficult to attack a ball that is short and low.  You can just push that ball back and then wait for the longer or higher ball to attack.
