Playing Against Aggresive Players

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey. Firstly I rate myself as an offensive player.
I just have a question in how I should play against aggressive players who can attack effectively.
Should I keep the ball low and short etc to stop my opponent attacking in the first place?
Or should I just find opportunities to attack as well or just attack his attacks?(which does not work all the time, since I cannot always return his attacks)

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

Keeping the ball low and short is a good option.  Also think about making the first attack when you can because this is one of the things that attackers hate most.

We have a Premium lesson in our Match Strategy lesson son Playing An Attacking Looper that will explain more fully these concepts.
