Strategy
One of my opponent is a solid defender. He blocks topspins, smashes, whatever you throw at him. And has a very good consistency. I just go on topspining or smashing, which often results in loss. his a good blocker after all.. So i was thinking if I shd play defensive against him bcoz his attacks are not that great and my chops are not easy to attack. Shd i just continue playing offensive or go for defence?
Thnx
Hi Nagaraj,
If you feel like your defence can be successful then that is a good tactic to use.
The blocker relies on your speed to use against you so if you don't give them any speed they need to generate their own.
We have a lesson in our Match Strategy section on Playing A Blocker which will also help.
This match show cases Michael Huang, a two winged looper up against Maggie Meng, a short pimpled penholder who likes to use the reverse penhold backhand with long pimples. In the match you'll get to see how the tactics used by each player shape the match.
