Just like any other sport, you need to be mentally prepared for every ping-pong match that you intend to play. It is a big help if you start out early and watch your opponent play so that you know what their strengths and their 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”.
Your main tactic as the Explorer, is to get a feel for your opponent by sending them at many different types of shots. By being an effective explorer, you must use all kinds of shots once the game starts, such as blocks, loops, drives, counter-drives, spins, pushes, and other shots.
By doing this, you will be able to adjust quickly and determine what shots are your opponent’s weakness. Always varied the speed of your hits as well, and use several different types 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 example, if you observed that your opponent is weak on his or her backhand, you should try and give him or her more backhands. 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. This method will force your opponent to make adjustments to how you play and not vice versa. Although this can be advantageous for you, you have to remember that you also need to adjust to your opponent’s shots as you play. Not being able to adjust will mean losing the game and many errors.
If you are going to play the dominator, this means that you are going to need to start the game with your best shots and make adjustments that correspond to the responses of your opponent’s 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 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.
