Hi Udbhav,rnrnThird ball attack refers to the third ball hit in the rally. When you serve this counts as the first stroke, your opponent returning the ball counts as the second and your next stroke is the third ball.rnrnA common tactic in Table Tennis is to play a strong third ball attack. If you can do this you will be in a good position to win the point. This is often setup be serving a really good short serve that your opponent cannot attack.
