I’m playing tonight against a shake hand player who uses inverted on forehand and short pips on backhand. (I don’t think he twiddles)
Both of us are around 1500 skill level. I’m a two wing looper who plays close to the table.
So, I don’t have a lot of experience against short pips and the last time I played against him it was a disaster. The change (and lack of) pace on the ball was messing up my looping. And my blocking also.
I’m looking for advice on how to deal with the short pip blocks and hits. My opponent is a lot older and lacks mobility I just need to make the proper adjustments for the ball. Of course I’m not really sure what those adjustments are.
I’m think maybe I should loop/hit the ball later (when it starts to drop a little bit) so that I can get more spin on the ball? Not really sure. What do you guys suggest?
Also, if I push the ball pops up too high and if I block it dumps into the net.
