Strategy

Hi coach. I have come over many slow players but when I came over a fast player I couldn't defeat him. How do I defeat a fast player?

Hi Deepjyoti,
When playing a fast player you need to try to prevent them form playing the ball fast. If you can keep the ball low and close to the net it will make it harder fro them to play a fast game. also by giving them more backspin shots you will find it will make it harder for them.
If they stay close to the table then use some variation os spin and speed to upset their rhythm. Fast players also like the ball coming to them fast so sometime sloe the ball down to give them something different to think about.
