Manipulating an opponent
Strategy
D K Asked 10 years ago
Hi Jeff and Alois
I have a little problem in my game.
Do you know if it is possible to force the opponent to play a specific stroke?
To be exact,I usually want my opponent to use a short or slow spinny topspin.
But many players do their best to avoid using ANY topspin or a long,powerful one.
Do you have any advice how to force them to make a slow attack?

Hi,
If you can get the ball low with a lot of backspin and with the second bounce just over their end line may be the best option.

In this video we will discuss the differences between Inverted and short pimple rubbers. We will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of short pimple rubbers. Some of the advantages are that the ball travels lower and flatter over the net and that having one rubber short pimple and one rubber inverted provides variety making it more difficult for your opponent.

Today I tried it,but they just pushed it back :(,athough I know that they are easily capable of looping it
Keep it in that same place and eventually they will make the slow topspin.
