Types of opponent
Strokes
Jamie Milroy Asked 11 years ago
At my school table tennis club, i find it very difficult to play some opponents who are not that skilled and just push the ball back. I find it very difficult to start attacking although it is easier to play using my style against more experienced opponents. Which strokes do you recommend?

Hi Jamie,
I would use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. This will let you spin the ball when it has different types of spin on it.
Sometimes players that play different spins are more difficult to play than players that hit the ball cleanly.

When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.

Can we hit topspin to the ball having any type of spin or just angle varies each time
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
As long as the ball is long then you can play a topspin. As you say, then the angle of your stroke varies depending on the type of ball you get.
