Question

how to counterattack a smash in table tennis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the players I coach likes to finish our coaching sessions with some match-play. I ask him how he wants me to play – defensive, attacking or mix it up? He always wants me to play my best and give him everything I’ve got.

We have some good games. I usually come out on top, but it’s close. After we finished one week, he said he found it difficult when I attack too much. He goes into automatic blocking mode and becomes too passive.

So during our next session we worked on options for counter-attacking. When we played a few games at the end – he blocked less and attacked more and I found it much harder to win points.

So for your benefit, here’s a couple of things we worked on, plus a simple training drill you can do.
