The Speed Demon
Early ball contact, flat drives, close-table aggression.
You live at the table. Flat hitting, fast counter-loops, and immediate transition — your game is about speed and reaction. You take the ball early, deny time, and win before the opponent is set.

Training Drills
Early Ball Counter
Partner feeds medium topspin, you counter immediately — contact the ball early, before the peak. Arms fast, footwork minimal.
Speed Drive Sequence
FH-BH-FH speed drive sequence, alternating sides. No loops — flat, fast, early. 3 sets of 30.
Block-and-Counter Reflex
Partner attacks hard, you block and immediately counter-attack. Develop the reflex to transition from defense to offense in one motion.
