In this video top coach, Lois Peake, shares some tactics for right-handed players to beat left-handed players.
Playing a lefty can be tricky. The angles are different. The patterns of play are different. And they usually have very strong forehands!
Lois explains some tactics which often work against left-handed players. These include attacking the wide forehand, using short pendulum serves and also serving sidespin to the backhand to set up your own forehand attack.
Lois has represented England and the junior and senior level. She has also coached at a high level, and crucially for this video, is a left-handed player!
This video was made in partnership with Table Tennis England www.tabletenni...
In the video, Lois is using this equipment:
Blade: JOOLA Santoru KL-C Outer bribartt.co.uk...
Rubber (both forehand and backhand): JOOLA Dynaryz AGR bribartt.co.uk...

As a left-handed player, I am going to learn to do all these to my right-handed opponents!

@josemontalvo4532 Год назад

Right on! As a Lefty, I agree with you. Let’s us beat all the righty’s we encounter!

@Pizzaboy_Playz 2 месяца назад

Definitely! I'm left-handed and win a lot of time XD

@josemontalvo4532 Год назад

As a leftie, this is going to destroy my game. Thanks a lot! I play mostly righties and they just need to deal with it. I play a few lefties too. This vid is reaching!

@bilaltariq8471 Год назад

I am lefty I just love it wide forehand cause I get I chance to get under the table and the sidespin u get from thst is friggin amazing Its a nighmare of a return almost a roller like motion

@JAYDEV402 6 месяцев назад

Excellent teaching, Tom. You've improved a lot, both as a player and as a coach...

@ivanlo7195 Год назад

6:12 That's a good point to be mentioned. Whatever tactics a righty abuses, a lefty abuses it more often than a righty does. I would say to use uncommon serve would be easier to win, like standing in forehand position to serve like Dima does

@akfsx Год назад

I used to play with the right hand and switched to the left due injury. Also had a lefty coach for a while so I don't really pay attention. I love wide shots to my FH because I can respond even wider 😂

@idrivearttabletennis Год назад

Tongue-in-cheek reply: really bad advice - don't do what he says - I am left-handed and he gave away all my secrets. Actually, if a right-handed player sets up to serve what should be wide to my forehand, I try to move slightly toward the middle of the table and then hit a return hard and wide to his backhand. Hard and wide to my backhand often gives me more problems. Right-handed players end up playing some left-handed players in most tournaments. But a left-handed player playing against another left-handed player gets interesting. Now THAT would be a cool video to follow this one. I try to take note before playing a left-handed player and change my game up some because my normal strengths are often their strengths too.

@whyyyzx Год назад

Watching two lefties that are around the same standard at tournaments is truly one of the most beautiful things to watch imo.

@laolong2493 Год назад

Thanks a lot for the video. It helps a lot and is smart as all the others.

@Franky_1974 Год назад

Nice video, super tactic. Lois is super sympathic. Please more tipps from her as a likeable lefty. ;-)

Hey tom, great video! I love your content and I'd very much like a video on the backhand serve you used at 6:00. Keep up the amazing work!

Take a look at this video I made last year. It has some good tips for wide BH serves ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J9uZp9oIAiM.html

as a leftie (used to be right handed) this is interesting

@alonsoquijano51 Год назад

As a lefty myself, I think Lightzy is correct. None of those tactics work consistently against me. And I am only 6 ft tall, so I don't have an exceptional arm span. However, I have probably close to 1 foot more than Lois. That is the big difference.

@TomLodziak Год назад

I don't think any tactic will work every time. A player can always adapt. But it's useful to try out different tactics to see what works against each opponent. I have been having success using Lois's tactics against other left-handers. Doesn't work all the time. But definitely works when I get the placement spot on.

@nguyenanhquynh7322 Год назад

thank you!!!

@Lightzy1 Год назад

I don't think it's because it's wide so much as because she's a bit short. All the lefties I play are gangly giants and giving them any ball to the forehand is near suicide with the ammount of sidespin they hit to my backhand, making it nigh unreachable, since with my backhand I can't stretch to return it as I can with the forehand.

@TomLodziak Год назад

If you make a switch to the FH, it has to be really wide and fast. I have success with this even against taller left-handed players with strong FHs.

@@TomLodziak what do you think of the Rhyzen Fire and Ice? I play the Ice BH and FH on a Challenger All, as my first custom set up. I only play with friends, although it has become a bit more competitive in the last weeks.I want to start playing in a club now and I wonder if you think it is a good choice. I'm still getting used to it, but all in all it feels very good, I definitely unlocked some levels since I got it.

@tomsttacademy 11 месяцев назад

@@lupo3694 I've recently started using Rhyzen ICE on my BH, as I wanted something a little more controllable. It's a decent rubber - not too fast, but plenty of spin. I think your set-up is absolutely fine for joining a club. If you like it, no need to change anything for the time being.

@@TomLodziak It's not about wasting balls, although I wouldn't want to waste any ball for economical (I was not a rich spoiled child when I began TT) and eco-friendly obvious reasons, I thought it would be obvious that 1) It would unsettle and disturb players 2) It is a falling/slipping hazard. but that's just 🤓me I presume.
