Playing against blockers
Strategy
Kevin Edalat Asked 14 years ago
Hi Alois:
Although I can use backhand or forehand topspin against a blocker,
I ultimately lose the point once the opponent blocks two
or three times consecutively. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kevin,
The key is to use variation. A blocker enjoys the ball coming at the same pace even if it is fast. You are better off to vary the amount of spin, speed and placement to throw them out of rhythm.
