Ryu vs chop
Strategy
D K Asked 10 years ago
Hello PingSkills Team
I have seen a video of Joo Sae Hyuk clashing with Ryu Seung Min,the Last Japanese penholder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oPrzoEII7Q
Joo lost terribly,although I think he did not play at his fullest.
I think he will lost anyway,but I think he would win some sets.
But if he should win fully,how should he play?
I just ask because I feel like him in many matches.
I feel like chopper vs. chopperkiller.

Hi DK,
I think he needs to attack a lot with his forehand against Ryu because Ryu has such a strong topspin against chop.

Gerada v Lu
Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.

Ryu is said to have a 100% horizontal loop.
He seems to smash even the lowest chops.
I dont think it would help.....Yes,an option,but Joo is not fast enough and his strongest attacks are just a warming up for Ryu
Although I do not like Ruwen Filus,a German defender,I think that not like Joo,he was able to temporarily dominate Ryu.
I consider him weaker than Joo,but he can use his longpips more offensively.
About Joo-as his forehand,despite being strong,is no match for Ryu.
Is there any overall strategy against such a non-balanced player like Ryu?
