Playing Against Aggresive Players
Strategy
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.
