Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question:

Why pro players don’t smash “fishing”balls (or do it rarely) ? They play with topspin these balls not with flat shot. I don’t understand.

Hi Ilian,

Strong topspin can be difficult to return, that’s why most of the time they will not just smash the ball.

I hope this is helpful!
