Beating a Blocking player

Strategy

Haseeb Ansar Asked 8 years ago

How can i beat a blocking player? My game is offensive but every time i tried to start a rally my opponent counters my hits with a slow defensive shot which disturb my normal rhythm in the game?

Hi Haseeb,

Try using variation in your speed and spin to upset their rhythm.

A blocker relies on your speed to make things more difficult for you. If you an change the rhythm as well then you will make it more difficult for them.

We have a tutorial on this for our Premium members in our Tactics section. IN the Advanced "Playing Against" Series there is a tutorial on Playing A Blocker.
