Strategy

Hi Alois & Jeff,

I was wondering if it would be a good idea when looping/attacking to throw a low chop at my opponent? Kind of like a change up? Just wondering?

ThanksĀ

Hi Collin,

I would keep attacking. Once you've developed a good attack, you can win the majority of points when you are attacking. If you throw in a chop you can let your opponent get back into the rally. Plus it could be a difficult transition to go from a loop to a chop.

I like your thinking though. It's great to explore options and try out different tactics.

Berry v Datta

Shibaji Datta is a hot favourite in this match up against the unusual style of Brian Berry who loves to mix the game up with some great defensive play and some whippy forehand attacks.
