Opponent size
Strategy
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,
Kelvin W

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.
