Opponent good at placing the ball

Strategy

ubaidullah khan Asked 6 years ago

Hi Alios,

Good Day!

I lost in quarter final ( Company Tournament). My apponent was very tall and good at placing. He was placing the ball very fast from the corners of the table. Short balls also he was flicking fast.Please let me know how to deal with such type of players.

Many Thanks,

Khan

Hi Khan,

I think a good strategy against this type of player is variation of speed and spin. If you play fast to them they will utilise your speed to place the ball well and get you out of position.

If they are tall then playing into their middle can also be effective rather than trying to make them reach wide.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
