Matt Kurzer Asked 12 years ago
Hi Guys,
Could you explain the different styles of players that are mentioned on the vault?
E.g Blocker
Could you also show how they play and their strength and weaknesses?
If you have a video that I can access using a free account that would the great but if not could you please just explain it!
Thanks Matt

Hi Matt,
A Blocker is one that uses the speed of the other player. They play the block shot often and often don’t attack themselves very much. Backhand Block
A defensive chopper is a defensive player that usually goes back from the table and plays the Forehand Chop and Backhand Chop.
An attacking chopper will stay closer to the table and take advantage of a weaker shot and will attack the ball when given the opportunity especially on the forehand side.
A hitting attacker will use a flat stroke to attack. An attacking looper will tend to use more topspin to attack.

Alois,
This is kind of how I would like to see the definition of terms we have been trying to start on the "Terms/Terminology of TT. Just a brief summary of the term and how it is used in the game.
What do you think?
Yes that is what we have in mind.
