How to play a Blocker

Hi Alois,

Today I played a guy who does not move so well but blocks solid. Everytime I played a forehand topspin he blocked with backhand and punched accurately. I lost everytime. What strategy should be applied for these kind of blockers.

Lots of best wishes for you and Jeff...

Thanks and Regards....

Hi Subhrajyoti,

The main thing when playing a blocker is to vary the spin and speed. If you try to play too fast they will use your speed to manoeuvre you around.

We also have a tutorial in our Match Strategy section on Playing A Blocker which is available for our Premium members.
