Hi coach
What is two winged attacker?
Hi Prince,
It is someone that plays topspin on both the forehand and backhand side. It is an interesting term isn't it... Sounds more like a fierce flying dinosaur.

Returning a short topspin serve can be tricky because the spin wants to lift the ball up. In this video, we look at two effective options: developing an attacking flick and learning how to push the ball safely.
For the flick, the key is to be positive. Take a few risks, hit through the ball a little harder, and aim for a fast, flat contact. In practice, don’t worry too much about making mistakes as this is how you learn to control the shot under pressure.
The second option is the push. You can push a short topspin serve, but you need to adjust your contact. Instead of getting under the ball, come down the back of it more, almost feeling like your bat is moving slightly backwards. This helps counter the topspin and keeps the return lower and more controlled.

what you mean is they just play with attacking on every side of the table ?

Yeah exactly .Generally people often favor one side to attack from(happens with most intermediate and beginner players ) and also penholders generally have an extremely strong forehand with a not-so-strong backhand.

yeah you're right... but not at all... Ms Lin is good on his backhand topspin by using the back of the bat !
