Close to the table play vs mid-distance
Strategy
hao jun Asked 9 years ago
Hi,
I would usually play close to the table.However, I realized that when I played against my friend who has a very powerful topspin i started going back a little. So,which is better as I've seen many professionals playing at mid-distance. If close to the table play is better what type of rubber is better, inverted or short pips.
Btw, I loop or flick very often.

Hi Hao,
You can change the distance to the table depending on your opponent. Get to a distance that feels comfortable for you and also troubles your opponent the most.
This is just a form of variation that you can introduce into your game.

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.
