Tough match on Tuesday
Strategy
Matt D Asked 12 years ago
Hi guys,
I have a tough match on Tuesday. One guy I am playing against is a left hander, the other is a very good lobber and looper( I could just drop shot him but my drop shots go too long and he will just loop the ball and probably end up winning the point) and the other one I don't have a chance against because he played for Poland in the Olympics.
The left hander is an attacking table tennis player who stays up to the table and just loops.
The lobber swaps from attacking and defending and he just cho's his head off 
I know I haven't given a lot of information but if you could perhaps give me a few tips on how to beat these guys then that would be great.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
The first thing is to focus on what you do well. Try to get the first attack. This will stop them from getting into their favourite part of the game.
Take a look through the Vault as well and put these players down and try to see if there is anything else that you can find about them that will help. After the matches on Tuesday, go back to it and add anything else you find out.
