Faking a shot

Strokes

Table tennis player Asked 9 years ago

HI,

I would like to ask a question about how to fake a shot to trick your opponent and is it allowed in table tennis?

Hi Didon,

One way to do it is to change the action of your stroke by changing body position slightly.

We do have a video response to an earlier question on this same topic. Take a look at Faking a shot.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
