Backhand attacking style

Hi pingskills,

I've seen looping attackers which attack on both sides. But on the backhand side, they only loop against backspin, when away from the table or when the ball is left up high. When they are close to the table, they will use a backhand counterhit, block or punch. I see a lot of Australian doing this and even my coach says this. What are your opinions??

Hi Eugene,

It is a matter of your game style.  I think it is good to use topspin when close to the table as well as further away.
