Hi Mohsen,

The idea is to stop his strength.  You should look to keep your serves and pushes close to the net.  This will stop him from attacking.

Also look at keeping him off balance.  Use your placement to make sure he doesn't get an easy swing at the ball.  Avoid the danger zones on the table.

Good luck with the match.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
