Devising and using a tactic against an opponent is often key to winning.
Let's start by analyzing some of the more common styles of players. Control... Control players generally don't like taking chances. They try to get the ball on the table more often than they take a chance of smashing for a winner. Defensive... Defensive players try to outlast their opponents, either by avoiding their own mistakes or by provoking opponents into making mistakes. Offensive... Aggressive players emphasize topspin and consistency, but the actual style can vary greatly between players. Some concentrate on provoking errors by attacking and blocking, while others simply like to outlast their opponents while playing aggressively. Aggressive players generally have very good ball control and placement as well as a clear understanding of spin. This style of player will generally deliver heavy spin on both the serve and service return. Power As the name implies, Power players try to win points almost entirely through the speed of the shots they generate.

Table tennis has been a paralympic sport since 1960 and one of the first for spinal rehabilitation, proving its a global sport without any limitations.
Are you a coach and if so where at, there are many people who dedicate their own valuable time usually for little reward so tell us about your experience and thoughts.
Tactics is a major part of any competitive sport, some are good at it some are very average, but whatever level you play at it can improve your results and confidence, for example how does one play someone with Dr neubauer or anti-loop ?
