Perfect Time to Play attacking stroke
Strategy
Samuel Dumfarht Asked 11 years ago
Hey J and A !
What should be the perfect time to make an attacking stroke or even an aggressive topspin?
I often find my self hurrying into playing attack strokes which cost me points

Hi Samuel,
In generally you want to try to be the first player to attack. If you are finding that you are making errors with this, then slow it down slightly and get more consistency on the stroke. Lift the ball with more topspin and higher over the net to give you a better margin for error.
So try to attack at the first opportunity but just make it more consistent.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? 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.

I tried the same thing and it worked miracles... thanks to Alois !!!
may be you may choose a bat/rubber that is good for top spin (or higher throw angle)
