Hi alois, 

I wanna ask you about a player a player who is seemingly weak. But able to beat or even challenge a state level player. A player who has no real strokes, slow and clumsy can beat a state level player with fast footwork , good attacks and good serves. How to explain this?

This penhold player is slow, clumsy and weak but his opponent is a state player and he's being destroyed.

Hi Eugene,

Take a look at our previous discussions on How Can I Escape the Ping Pong Zone?.  I think this will help.

It is one of the beauties of our game that a veteran can still match it with a young fast player.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
