What is the best way to play against a player who blocks a lot with long pips on the backhand side, and has very good serves?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/zig-zag-serve/">Zig Zag Serve</a> - 13:54</h4> <p>Aryaman: Is it really possible to execute a zig zag serve?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/3rd-ball-attacker/">Stop the 3rd Ball</a> - 17:22</h4> <p>Dakota: I play a guy who at least 80% of the time will attempt to win the point on the third ball. He will attempt to attack both flicks and pushes. I usually tend to push long to backhand or wide to forehand. Should I try to really practice my short push?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/smoothing-the-edges-of-the-racket/">Smoothing the Edges</a> - 20:25</h4> <p>Bennett: Since it is more aerodynamic for something to have a smoothed edge instead of a flat edge like a square. Is it allowed for a racket to be smoothed near the edges for people who use their loop a lot. If it is allowed, do you think it is worth it?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/returning-fast-balls/">Returning Fast Balls</a> - 21:57</h4> <p>Johnny: I have a problem returning fast attacks. I don't have a problem if they attack to where I expect or prepare to return. But sometimes I just can't get to those unexpected attacks. Should I just watch the ball closely and react, or can I predict?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="/table-tennis/training-secrets/practicing-alone/">Practicing Alone</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1K6bOG8mj8">Bounce by Matthew Syed</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/match-strategy/playing-against-long-pimples/">Playing Against Long Pimples</a> - for premium members</p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/forehand-push/">The Forehand Push</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/the-push-in-detail/">The Push in Detail</a> - for premium members</p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/improving-your-reflexes/">Improving Your Reflexes</a> - for premium members</p> <p> </p>
