Table Tennis Tactics

How often have you thought that you had been the better player technically, but still managed to lose the game? In order to beat an opponent, you have to be more than technically proficient and learn how to apply your technique correctly through a better tactical appreciation of each game as it progresses. This book will show you how to do this, and it provides a thorough analysis of all the most important table tennis tactics.

The book contains an age-appropriate collection of all aspects of table tennis tactics for young players. It helps you to read your opponent's game and to decide how to play against forehand- or backhand-dominant players. There are also valuable tips on how playing tempo can be used as a tactical element, how to produce and read ball spin and how to influence it with a suitable racket surface, and how the service game is used to take tactical control of the game.
