How to play vs defensive, counter type guy
Strategy
Michiel Kempinck Asked 10 years ago
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.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
