A ping pong match is something that you should prepare for whenever you are going to play. It helps if you prepare early on days before the game starts by studying your opponents and finding out what their strengths and weaknesses are. If he didn’t have time to prepare like this, it doesn’t really matter as you can find out what their weaknesses are by playing “The Explorer”.

An explorer’s tactic will normally feel the opponent out by giving him or her different kinds of shots. If you wish to be an effective explorer, you are going to have to use many different types of shots, such as loops, counter drives, drives, blocks, pushes, spins, and other types of shots.

By using this tactic you can figure out quickly which shots your opponent is weakest against. You should also hit the ball at various speeds and try out different kinds of serves.

As was previously mentioned, this is going to help you narrow down exactly what your opponent strong points and weak points are. When you figure out your opponent by using this method, you’re going to be able to concentrate on sending your opponent also shots that they are weakest against.

As an example, if you find that the up opponent is weak against the soft lob, try to give him or her more of those. Another strategy is by forcing your game to your opponent right at the start of the game and adjust your plays or tactics as you go. This is the traits of a “Dominator”.

What a dominator does is that they will use their best shots at the beginning of the game. This method will force your opponent to make adjustments to how you play and not vice versa. Even though this can truly be an advantage for you, you also need to be able to adjust to how your opponent plays as well. If you aren’t able to adjust to your opponent’s shots, then this will probably mean the loss of the game for you.

My being in a dominator, you are going to need to bring your best shots out first and be able to make adjustments according to how your opponent responds to your shots.

You now need to make the decision on which type of player you are, either an explorer or a dominator. A good ping pong player will have a mixture of both and one that can adjust to their opponents quickly.

So, whatever kind of player you are, make sure that you know how to adjust to your opponent in order to beat them at their own game.
