Table range

Strokes

Kevin Lin Asked 14 years ago

Is it better to stay close table and attack, or is it better to stay far away from the table to attack

Hi Kevin,

In general it is better to be close to the table to attack because it is easier to land the ball from close range and it is also more effective because it gives your opponent less time to react.
