Defender vs pusher

Strategy

Someone Anyone Asked 4 years ago

Hi,

how to play against a pusher as a defender?

Alois Rosario Answered 4 years ago

Hi,

I think the first tactic would be to see if you can be more consistent than they are with the pushing.

I think one think to be careful about is to not become frustrated that they are not attacking. As a defender you may have better patience than they do and a more consistent push game. This will force them to start attacking and perhaps lead to some mistakes from them.

Hi, everyone!

I am a pusher. If I meet better pusher then I start to attack by topspins. If that opponent is also a good blocker or if there are lots of backspins in his pushes, then I lose.

Maybe try to get them to attack. Pushers often do not have good attack,else they would use it.
