Slams to the corner
Strategy
eric su Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois & Jeff,
I am recently been playing in my local park. I have a hard opponent who slams to the corner quickly. For some of his slams, i could just do a backhand block. But unfortunately he is tricky to play with and i have not win against him yet.
Any advise would be appreciated.
