hi alois and jeff,

except for the crossover point beneath the playing arm, are there any other positions around the player or the table where i can place the ball to make it very tough for my opponents to recieve while serving/pushing/attacking?

thanks!

Hi Shripathi,

This position will change for each player.  Firstly look at which side they are weaker on, their forehand or backhand.  Then look at which side they like to attack from and which side they like to block or defend on. These could be different or the same.

You need to work this out for each opponent.  When you do go to the PingSkills Vault and record it so that you remember the next time you play them.
