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

M51 · May 24, 2014

I'm a third-ball attacker with a fearsome block, who also tends to chop from time to time.

Im a controlled two wing topspinner.wont say attacker as i control each shot with high arc-good topspin shots rather than low arcing very fast topspins.

i also play defensively occasionally,lobbing then topspinning back with fast speed(all out attack-but most often the ball lands in the net).

my primary weapon is my serve.9 out of 10 times the opponent cant return it properly-either too high for a smash,or right of the table.

Few days ago was playing with short pips.really enjoyed the fast game with it.

BTW,i play shakehand(primary style),as well as penstyle-good enough to beat good players,but not too consistent.

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.

I have upgraded my game and now i'm a two wing looper with good BH.
I usually try to get the point by placement. I'm good at blocking and i try to attack the service right away.

I have problems against aggressive two wing attacker because i'm able to out block one wing looper but two wing aggressive looper ate able to over power me. But still i have good chance against them too.

My play style is 3rd ball attacks. I tend to lose to really spinny serves and sometimes defenders as i am not a good spin reader.

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.

I beat a good chopper today! I think I have to partially thank my new setup.

I'm a spin-oriented player, two winged looper/attacker. Inverted on both side of racket and tends to loop kill if there's a chance

I mainly use spin to win the point

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.

Haha well, beeing patient is the most important thing you need to play a defender. You can practice to topspin the ball multiple times against the long pimples and then try to hit it faster and faster. If you do that in a match and you place the ball well a defender has no chance at all to win. or he must be superman... or Joo See Hyuk

Are you saying that Joo Se Hyuk is not superman?

One thing to do vs choppers or retrievers is to attack right at their body FAST. Even better to draw them to the table then attack them fast right at their body. Choppers and retrievers are notoriously good at getting back balls to their side. It is infinitely more difficult for them to get balls hit hard right at them.

Thank your coach AND or yourself, maybe TTD, you could crap on your bat and it wouldn't know better.

You might have a 5% chance of running into me at a Westchester or Boston tourney, I try to time my visits to Boston when there is a tourney going on somewhere.

I did work a lot with my coach on playing choppers. Maybe it's just placebo.

I am a Allround attacker and I often lose to aggressive attackers of all kind.

YannouPing37 · Jul 20, 2014

I'm offensive, I have a topspin with a lot of rotation and speed (BH and FH) and a good serve, but I'm not a defender and I haven't a great footwork.

asherd · Jul 21, 2014

I play far from the table, sometimes attacking or sometimes defending. I tend to lose against attacking players who have both a good forehand and backhand

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