Strategy

Aditya Gupta Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois ,

I am 12 years old . I live in India and i am addicted to table tennis. My parents made my join the classes but i wasn't interested but after the first day i loved it.

I have learnt how to hit a smash or a power shot but not how to dodge one. Can you please suggest a trick or a stroke?

Hi Aditya,

It is great that you are enjoying the game.

To return a fast smash you can use the Lob. You will need to move back from the table to give yourself more time to see the ball.

Of course the best solution is to stop them from making the smash by keeping the ball low and to difficult positions for them.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
