Hi,

Coming weekend I have to play a guy that does not spin ever, he just blocks my spins aggressively, plays fast flat balls or chops. I have a similar game, but he is better at it.

What tactic do I use vs him? My topspin abilities are not great...

thanks

Hi Michiel,

As a Premium member you can take a look at the lesson on Playing A Blocker.

If your topspin is not great also focus on positioning and variation of speed.
