A strong defensive player can be very difficult to beat. The defender will use a combination of pushes, chops, blocks to keep returning the ball. It can be both physically and mentally exhausting!
In this video, coach Orsi Petocz gives some tips on how to beat defensive players. And what makes Orsi’s insights very useful is that she is a very strong defender herself, having represented Hungary in international events. Really, she is giving away secrets on how to beat a player just like her.
There is footage of me trying out Orsi’s tips and having plenty of success.
You can follow Orsi on Twitter / okpetocz , or read her profile on the Paragon Table Tennis website: www.paragontabletennis.co.uk/...

Hey Tom, your videos are gold. Whenever I want to get help with something or learn new things, I can confidently go for your channel. What's nice and dynamic is that you often invite other players to share their thoughts and tactics. Thanks a lot! And yeah, lot of improvement on your game! 😎

My only two wins at the lowest league, basically, this season, were the two games against the same defender. But it was way easier: He could defend, but he could not attack or handle spinless balls. So I just went and played slow spinless balls, and sometimes attacked with my relatively quick and well-placed, although risky, backhand. When I fully committed to this strategy and when I was concentrated, he did not stand a chance.

Yes, I have had success with this approach too. If the defender does not attack, you can be quite patient and play many shots with little spin, and wait for the easy ball to attack. Well done for the wins.

Definitely not easy. The editing of this video is kind to me. I made a lot of errors too!

Great advice.

@huskysixdirty Ай бұрын

This was great. Especially the mentioned short long variations are working good. Additionally a good advice is trying to play short rallies and avoiding 10-10 and 5th set situations. Over time a defender will get more confident and an attacker has already shown everything they have. It is also psychologically much easier reacting to than forcing an action in tense situations.

Thank you.

Wow, it was a good job keeping and offloading the ball. In local leagues the most of defencers would make a mistake if you don't pop a ball a lot.

Good morning! What kind of pin does she use? Is it Tibhar D-Grass? My daughter uses it.

@Pgm94 Ай бұрын

This is GREAT. Thank you! Your videos are so accessible to beginners like me, but real skills that can help play better players. Question: I'd like to be a defender/chopper but 99% of my practice is in garages with limited space (not terrible, maybe 5-6ft behind the table). is it possible to get good at that skill and use it well with limited space?

@TomLodziak Ай бұрын

This is quite tough. You can certainly learn close to the table defence - pushing, blocking, chop-blocking - but it will be challenging to do traditional chops as you just don't have enough space. To learn strong chopping skills away from the table, you will need more space.

@Blackain66 Ай бұрын

Some decent tips here, you gotta consider that pure Defenders are pretty rare thou and that nowdays almoust ever Defender is "modern" and attacking on his FH or even switching his racket sides. So those will basically wait for your lazy pushes to attack them themself and it will be much harder to beat those than a pure oldschool Defender who basically lose to ppl who can play hard winners with a good percentage.
