Strategy

Hey Pingskills! I was wondering if you could explain which tactics and general things to do against different weaknesses. For instance; how do you play against a person with weak footwork, or how you play against a person with weak topspins, one with weak backspins, or Maybe how to play an inconsistent player, the list goes on with weaknesses and I am sure you can mention a Lot more weaknesses. So the question is how to use you opponents different weaknesses to your advantage.

Hi Robin,

We are starting to build up a series of lesson in our Match Strategy lessons that you will be able to use.  Take a look through these and see what there is already.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper

A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.

Yeah Thanks for replying, I have seen a couple of those, Maybe You'll make some more in that series, but from what I have seen and can tell you mostly discuss how to play against different types of players and their strengths rather than their weaknesses. But I Will make sure I see all match strategy videos and see if it helps answer My question, otherwise I'm looking forward for that coming in later videos in the series. :)
