Play a player who blocks shots

Strategy

Martin Gooch Asked 4 years ago

Hi,

My question is about be able to play against a player who stays close to the table and blocks all returns mostly on their backhand, including top spin smashes. Many thanks Martin (UK)

🏓 Tip 1: Learn why playing more shots down the line helps your partner stay in position and how a well-timed cross-court attack can still surprise your opponents.
🏓 Tip 2: Discover the power of serving short and close to the centre line to reduce your opponents’ attacking options and give your team the advantage.

These small adjustments can make a big difference in your coordination, positioning, and success as a doubles pair.
