Hi Amlan,
The weakness of a shorter person will often be their reach. The strategy may then be to move them as wide as possible. OF course, some of these players may have developed good footowrk to counter this problem.
The good thing about Table Tennis is that players of all sizes have been the best in the World.

Hi Amlan,
Every time you play an opponent, record down the tactics that you used. Write down what worked well and what didn't. You can do this just with a notepad or you can use the PingSkills Vault. This is a great way to get you thinking tactically.
