How important is it to be a good attacker? Can I get by if I don't have a strong enough attack?

Hi Esteban,

There are different styles that you can play apart from being a strong attacker.  This game is like Chess.  It is important to work out the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent and then exploit them.

There are very good players that play defensively or even as all rounders.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
