Defensive plays

Strategy

Xariuz Cruz Asked 12 years ago

Hi Pingskills! Do you recommend a beginner to start with defensive plays with long pips?

Hi Xariuz,

I think as a beginner it is good to develop all the basic strokes with inverted rubber. Then you can move onto your own style, attacking, defensive or blocker.
