Playing casual opponents

I recognize that the thrust of PingSkills is to teach one how to play real table tennis, with all the rules and competitiveness that go with it. But how can these skills best be applied in more casual ping pong settings to win against dominant players who have developed their own wacky styles and techniques that are in no way by-the-book?

Hi Chris,

I think the main thing is that is you develop good technique it can overcome those weird and wonderful techniques.  We call it the "Ping Pong Zone"

Take a look at this PingPod where we talk about it.  PingPod #34 - Can You Escape the Ping Pong Zone?
