Compensation for Lack of Space

Strategy

I am a player that likes to play forehands away from the table. I usually win against my opponents because of my spinny topspins. If I was required to play in... let's say a garage, where there isn't enough space to play a decent topspin away from the table, what should I do? Should I start being a blocker or hitter just in case?

Hi Romeo,

Keep developing you game away from the table.  The better you get the more you will play in areas with more space.
