Opponent size

Kelvin Woelk Asked 10 years ago

Hi Jeff and Alois.

I often play someone who is significantly taller and broader than I am. He covers a lot of area without having to move much and it can be difficult to get a shot past him. Do you have any strategies specifically for use against a physically large but agile opponent?

Regards,

Hi Kelvin,

In general, playing to their right hip, if they are a right hander is a good strategy.  This forces them to move out of their own way.  If they are tall and have long arms this makes it more awkward.
