Playing casual opponents
Strategy
Chris Sohl Asked 7 years ago
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?

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