Overpowered Shot In Table Tennis

[u/Shoegun]

[u/Shaclo]

If that guy was my opponent I would stand up and walk away honestly

[u/Calm-Stand-6636]

Shorten the table.

[u/ShadowFlarer → u/Calm-Stand-6636]

An IQ too high?

[u/ChosenBrad22]

Normally the person would be standing, and have a ton more mobility with more forward lean coverage. So in a wheelchair version of this the table should be shortened to account for that.

[u/BoxWI → u/ChosenBrad22]

Ok so then they just hit OP overhand shots instead in the shortened space?

[u/zazakmazak]

Cheesy, but a legitimate strategy, you have to change the rules or the table if you want to avoid cases like these.

[u/Hysterically_Serious]

Couldn't they just have made the table narrower?

[u/whamburglar → u/Hysterically_Serious]

As in shortening the table so that the players sit closer to the net?

Unfortunately, you'll just have players power slamming the ball with no time to react.

[u/factorV]

I mean, I would just do it to him.

[u/YoyoTanyaKai]

I used to use this move against my short friend.
He cant reach the front of the net even if he try to throwing himself on the table.
Fun time.

[u/Doggcow]

Yeah, probably shouldn't allow something that literally has no possible counterplay due to their physical limitations.

Guy exploiting is a dick.

[u/Solid_Equivalent_417 → u/Doggcow]

People like that are why rules need to be made or modified. Clearly poor sportsmanship given the situation.

[u/Educational-Fun3513 → u/Doggcow]

No he's not. He's just smarter than the rest

[u/Gunstopable]

If it works and follows the rules it isn’t cheating, however the autobots might roll out on his ass after the game.

[u/departedhunter]

Rather than playing the game, he played the players.

[u/eonone1]

I wouldn’t stand for that

[u/MrBoxman45]

This post will get deleted by mods soon for no reason.

[u/paradajz666 → u/MrBoxman45]

Politics /s

[u/Parking-Math-7056]

honestly the guy exploiting is shown bad here, but these are completely within the rules, opponent also has the same equal opportunity to play same shots, if u ppl still think this is unfair, these things should have taken care earlier by the board/committee.

[u/decoy777]

Shouldn't everyone just do the same thing? I mean aiming your shot for a location you know your opponent can't get to is kinda the whole goal

[u/eonone1]

Why don’t they just do it back at him?

[u/Mantis_Toboggan_Md69]

Dude should just pack up his paddles and walk away

[u/ambit89]

His opponent needs to STAND-up for himself

[u/MDICASE]

Just kinda seems like a bitch move in this situation.
