Playing against blockers

Strategy

Kevin Edalat Asked 15 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.
