Player playing early

Strategy

How to pressurize a player who plays the early and is always close to the table?

I tried to put push or drives in wide forehand and Backhand but the player is good at both. I get caught after returning him wide and then change in direction often catch me out.

Hi Ryan,

Often the middle area can be a good place to target because this is there are they need to make a decision between the forehand and backhand. 

Give this area a try and see how you get on.

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.
