Beating a very offensive player
Strategy
Toe Naing Lin Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
In my school we had a table tennis inter house tournament my house got second but the final match against the offensive player was really difficult while I played against him he didn't care if his smashes were out he just kept smashing and surprisingly they all were in and he got lots of points by applying this strategy. So my question is how do I beat him because even if I kept the ball low he just smashed it.

Hi Toe,
Take a look at the lesson we have on I Can't Return That Smash!in our Match Strategy section. I think it will give you some good ideas.
