What is your playing style and what kinds of players do you tend to lose against?

[PaulJ5]

OK. Just some random questions to know you people here

So I'm a shakehander, chopper, lp on backhand and smooth on the forehand, I tend to chop more with my backhand and I have a pretty aggressive attacking forehand that is not 100% effective(still is working on with my consistency with chopping).
ofcourse I lose to people who trains more than me and I also tend to lose against people who lobs a lot with a lot of sidespin because I'm not that tall and the ball is just too high.. but no excuses.. and I like playing with people who topspins heavily and is fast.. though I don't win most of the time, but if I chopped consistently and returned the ball to his side almost all the time..the feeling I get is amazing.. but more amazing if I do win.. the best player I have played with according to rankings was probably our country's ranked no.4 player in the U14..
you??

i tend to lose against defensive players. lobbers because smashing real high bounces is awkward alot of time, i am quite short as well.
i lose to choppers, but i enjoy playing them.

i do better against, steady topspin attackers. but not super aggressive players because my footwork is garbage

 

[AndroidRX93]

A chopper and lp on the bh side, inverted on the fh side

 

[manluski]

i use cpen with rbh (wang hao). i play aggressive attack game. i use fast inverted rubbers on both sides. i lose a lot to spinny mid-distance defenders because of my poor footwalk and lack of patience. any advice is welcomed.

[Alborz]

I'm a aggressive blocker and i usually lose against control blocker because they dose not attack so i couldn't use their power against them.

 

[Der_Echte]

I'm your standard two wing topspin attacking joker. I rarely lose to defenders at my level. There are a few operators of SPon BH who know how to manipulate spin and pace which makes it tougher for me.

 

[Matt Hetherington]

I'm a 5th ball player, I like to have a bit more time so I open at about 70% pace on the 3rd ball and then play hard or place hard on the 5th ball. I usually tend to lose to people who have strong tight games or counterloop early in the bounce.

 

[HLDang]

I'm training to be a two wing looper. I end up losing to those with very controlled games.

 

[FuryToMax]

I'm a chopper on both sides with a pretty steady fh counter-topspin. I also attack with lp on my backhand and twiddle to chop and block with tenergy on bh or chop and topspin with curl on fh. I love going to the back and playing those really weird shots once in a while I like playing against offensive players, but I usually lose when my opponent knows how to make those really really low and really fast-accelerating topspins or have no space in my playing venue to move all the way back

 

[GrumpyJoe]

I am a defender. Meaning I chop with my BH and keep the ball in play with my FH. Rarely chop with my FH and only attack when I am sure I will get the point. I am a defender.

 

[Der_Echte]

Grumpy J on deck!

 

[GrumpyJoe]

As you were. I'll be in the area all day.

 

[Masta5]

I'm a pretty offensive player. I try to attack as often and as much as I can but I can also play longer rallies, e.g: topspin rallies *-* .
Especially with my FH topspin I win the points.
I usually loose against players who have a good block, so my offense doesn't matter or against ppl who attack earlier and better than me.

 

[Der_Echte]

Add to my style is that I like to often allow opponent to attack where I expect and am ready to block him off the table. Blocking is not a boring task and not just a defensive shot. Blocking is a form of counter attack or at the least preparing the ball for it.

[agold]

I am an offensive player. 3rd ball I move for a BH flick always if short. FH is stronger, and I have a Chinese loop. The farther back I play, the more fun I have I love counter looping and lobbing. I so very badly against choppers, but with my new setup I feel like it's easier to loop under spin.

 

[courage1337]

I am an offensive player. My coach is teaching me to loop slow spinny topspins and then over the table fast attack and I have to attack first. I love this sport so much that I can play against many styles. Lobbers, defenders/choppers, attackers.. anyone.. except some wierd guys in my league without any technique or something just uncomfortable/nasty game. But I think I'll manage somehow to win against them

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

I'm a professional multiball feeder now, and practice partner now
I loose against my weight and lack of footwork, muscles strength, form etc

Before that, I am a Cpen inverted both side, two wing attacker with RPB.
I prefer 3rd ball - 5th ball game, and my strength is to follow the point before 5th to 7th point, as well as service and service return.

I don't like to play against lefties and choppers.
I love lobbers, as they tend to get very tired with me moving them around

 

[Anders]

I'm an allround attacker, two winged looper - most of my game is about service/return, clever play with spin/speed variation in the open play

Tend to lose against aggressive LP-players or very aggresive offensive high level players, but I don't normally have a type that I don't like playing against.. If the other player is better than me and knows how to play me, he wins. If I get in and are able to control the game and "outsmart" the opponent I normally win
