Playing no spin and less spin balls
Strategy
singaraju avancha Asked 12 years ago
I am 5ft 11 inch and I am so comfortable playing away from the table even heavy spin and speed. I lose crucial points when the ball has no spin and speed both close to the net and edge of the table. Can you please explain.

Hi Singaraju,
When they play with less spin or speed the ball doesn’t come through to you. For these balls you need to step in closer to the table or if you stay back try to keep the ball as low as possible or initiate your own speed and spin on this ball by playing an attacking stroke.
