Beating Someone who Makes No Mistakes (T&S EP. 02)

Sometimes in table tennis, you play a match against people who make no mistakes at all. Long rallies, seemingly no solutions to win the game... or are there? Are there tactics and strategies you can apply to still win your tt match? This video explains it!

As a hardcore blocker, I'd say this is 100% on point, unfortunately :-)

Great Video!

[@Colonel-Mustard]

Another nice video guys and if I can just find that small corner along that straight edge it will be a geometric miracle - but here's hoping 🙏

[@lucaslupus1]

Thanks!

[@CalvinAytch]

I like the tip about the small corners, I need to be doing in my game more!

[@akfsx]

My favorite one against the opposite handed players, especially pushblockers. Short nospin serve to FH and very wide loop before they really utilize their pimples.

Would love to see a video about how to practice aiming for small corner and elbow consistently, also how practice the change of pace. As I tried to do this several times and always end up missing the table or missing the ball.

[@ConstantijnII]

Practicing on the small corner and elbow is fairly easy. It's just like you do with every other shot. Play rallies to those exact points on the table until you're able to consistently hit them. Then incorporate them in regular exercises where you change the placement. (For example: change it up between once to the long, once to the small corner) Once you can do that, change to irregular exercises with more different shots or with an irregular change in number of shots.
Change of pace is more difficult, but there are a few ways. One: change the timing (place of contact) to earlier or later. Two: change in spin. (Olav said so as well). Three: hit harder or softer. Best way to practice these are regular exercises (same placement each time) where the only thing you change between shots is one of those three points.
And yeah, in the beginning you'll be missing the ball or the table, but during practice that's fine. And after a while you'll be able to actually use it very well in matches too.

I also struggle a lot with it to be honest. However, I noticed lately that it helps to not aim for that sharp corner, but to aim for a spot next to the table, but without trying to play the ball too deep. That way, the trajectory is right because you're aiming sharm enough, but you still keel the ball on the table (if you brush it enough! You can't play too flat)

Hi Olav, how do I keep my own rhythm/beat against such players who act like a wall? I have noticed that such players will either block at an early timing, punch the ball to the corner or slow down the pace. How can I ensure that keep my own rhythm when my opponent plays too fast for me or slows it down to mess up my timing?

[@GuoJing2017]

I'm also curious to see Olav's response.
Personally for me I find I adapt better to changes in pace when I remember to stay relaxed and take my time on shots more because I have a bad habit of rushing too much giving myself less time and giving away cheap points. A lot of the time the slower balls if you wait the fraction of a second longer it's easier to keep the quality

[@OlavKTTT]

Apart from placement and shot quality, footwork seems to me to be the key in those situations. More specifically, ulderstanding how proper footwork can help you keep a steady rhythm when you play (as I discussed here: m.ruclips.net/video/ZfAQFqVV2ZE/видео.html).
On top of that, it's very important to always get back to your neutral position, as that facilitates everything when it comes to movement, reaction etc.
