Playing against a powerful player
Strategy
Yoan Pelletier Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois,
I know a guy who plays very well, he attacks absolutely everything. His attacks are very powerful and almost no spin. Even if there is a lot of chop in my ball, he attacks it. He never misses ... How should I play him?

Hi Yoan,
The best form of defence is attack.
Try to keep the ball short enough so that he can’t attack and take every opportunity to make the first attack at him. Often these type of players have a less effective defence so that is an areas that you can exploit.
For our Premium members we have a lesson in our Match Strategy on Playing An Attacking Looper.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
