Women and Angle Shots
Strategy
Gary Jacobson Asked 11 years ago
I wonder if others have the same experience I have when playing against women.
They seems to hit balls with more difficult angles. I wonder if this might be due to some anatomical reason, or if they have learned that doing so is a way to gain an advantage, and as a tactic to strengthen their game. When I ask my female opponents about their angled shots it seems that they are not so aware of my experiences playing against them.
Have you noticed this possible phenomenon?

Hi Gary,
The top women in the world hit the ball pretty hard but compared to the top men it isn’t as fast. Therefore they do tend to utilise the angles more to win points.

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.
