Hi Johnathan,
If you are playing a strong attacker it is best to try and serve the ball short (close to the net) on their side. This will stop them from attacking easily.
In general if you can attack first against an aggressive player it is best as it will give them a ball they do not like. Most attackers like a passive defensive ball to be able to attack.
In our Match Strategy we have a lesson on Playing An Attacking Looper.
