Playing against slow topspin Players and Side Spin Players from the Back
Gabriel Kozakevych asked 6 days ago
Hi i have generally big Trouble playing against Players that are playing against Players that are going Back and playing Side Spin Balls in half Long while also they come Back high. So i really have a Player that Is Playing very slow from the Back and i have Trouble to Punch the Balls in because of i Play on topspin into His backhand He Plays Like a chop below the net than afterwards i Miss Hit the ball. And really those Players they disturb my rythm extremly so against strong Attacking Players its much easier for me to Play because I Just Play counterspins in Play my Attacks the Game IS very dynamic but really against much weaker Players that are playing very slow playing every ball from the Back Low in short and Sometimes half Long with Side Spin i have big Trouble. Should i generally just maybe try to Take the ball very early all the time against them because if stay Close to mid the Side Spin Pop of and i am Not getting the ball Back but also Here the problem IS i should Not rush. So my Goal IS generally to Play confident against them so i mean that i need Always staying Close and Take the ball early ?

Ok so the main thing to avoid against these players is rushing because they rely o your mistakes to win points so I would say don’t try to take the ball too early, take your time and wait for the hots because if they are far from the table even if you play more slow and controlled it’s hard for them to hit the ball past you, so you need to be patient and wait for the right ball to play a stronger attack on.
