Big wind ups 2
Strategy
Justin O'Toole Asked 12 years ago
Hello Alois how are you? My question is similar to the last one on wind ups. What do you do against a big wind up player if the ping pong ball comes over extremely fast. Also is it a good idea to keep the ball extremely short, so they cant use their big wind up. Thanks for all your advice.

Hi Justin,
Yes, I would try to keep the ball short or play the ball a bit faster or earlier to give them less time to take the big wind up.
