Ball Placement Tactic
Strategy
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
What is the basic tactic when I place the ball on the opponents' table? Should I place them on the forehand and backhand side alternately?
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,
I think you need to consider your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
If they are particular strong on one side and weak on the other, then you should concentrate a lot of balls on one side. If they are quite good on both sides then you can think about moving them from side to side. You can do this if their footwork isn't particularly good.
So the bottom line is work out their strengths and weaknesses and then work out your tactics for that player. Once you do find that out, use The PingSkills Vault to record the information so that you don't forget it.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
