How to outsmart an attacker

Strategy

I am currently a defender but I am learning to adapt my style so I can also attack if necessary. I am able to win most of my games with ease mainly because of the backspin I use driving the ball into the net; but there are still some opponents who I cannot outsmart who attack over and over, leaving me only with the option of defence, but I want to be able to attack his shots.

Hi Jamie,

One good way to do this is to vary the spin on your chop.  When you can get a good no spin chop in, they may hit the ball higher.  This is the one you need to try and attack.
