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.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
