Hello how can i play against a forehand dominant topspin player, ? - and a tacky slower rubber on the backhand ? He has a strong forehand and a tacky rubber on the backhand, on the backhand to balls come very slowly and disrubt my rhytm. Does this rubber has an disadvantage, play with more spin against the tacky backhand ? And how can i stop his forehand, play short mostly on the recieve and long too his forehand as changeup, and hold him mainly on the backhand and middle ? Thank you very much.

The only general strategy is that you have to go to his forehand and then put the ball back on the backhand side to force him to transition. Also helps if he likes to pivot. But in general, every player is specific and looking for disadvantages the way you are fails to take into account the playing levels involved. Things like serving short and opening against long balls and looping aggressively with the forehand work against everyone but you just have to be precise with quality and placement. If someone is giving you a slower ball, adjust to the tempo and maybe play closer to the table, nothing special about it. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

There was an earlier post about how FZD had the following strategy vs Ma Long: open with a slow spinny loop to Ma Long's BH, and then kill the return (by a more off-the bounce more direct shot, with both FH and BH). It may work. ------------- Right hand: Stiga Allround NCT (74g) /Rasant Grip max/Talon OX red (total 135g) Left hand, 2020-1: Stiga Allround WRB (67g)/Fastarc G-1 1.8mm/V11 > Extra max 158g Fitness Friendship Fun |

| In general fh dominated players who step around a lot have problems shirt forehand, wide forehand and then back to wide backhand. |

I am FH dominated and also slow so i can tell you this is true! If his BH shots are weak then keep going to his BH until he starts to step around then vary your placement from short FH, wide BH and wide FH. Generally when i play players my level, I feel like I can get to the first shot with my FH no matter where it is placed but when placement start to vary. After that, it gives me a lot of trouble ------------- 729 Battle 2 Yasaka Goibao 5 Nittaku Fastarc G1 Nittaku Fastarc G1 Butterfly Cypress Max |
