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. However, if you didn’t prepare like this, you can easily find out their strengths and weaknesses by being “The Explorer”.
Your main tactic as the Explorer, is to get a feel for your opponent by sending them at many different types 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.
If you do this and do this well, it won’t take you long before you figure out exactly which shot is your opponents weak point. 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.
For instance, if you notice that your opponent can’t ever hit the ball from your backhand, try to send them more hits from the backhand. That isn’t the only strategy you could use the, you can use another strategy in which you control the game right from the get-go and bring it onto your opponent and adjust as you go. This is known as the “dominator” trait.
What a dominator does is that they will use their best shots at the beginning of the game. You control the gameplay this way by forcing your opponent to make the adjustments to your style instead of the other way around. 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.
Now, try to figure out whether you are an explorer or a dominator. Really good ping-pong players are able to combine both methods and are able to make adjustments to their opponents shots very quickly.
So it really doesn’t matter which type of player you are, in the end that you need to learn how to adjust your opponent so that you can come out the victor at the end.
