Strategy
Hello,
Recently at our club, our coach was criticizing that Block in a Rally is really bad because it gives a no spin ball which the opponent can accelerate. But, when the ball is fast, blocking with precision had won points for me. As you said, keeping a track of the ball and changing your wrist can be lethal to give an upper hand in the rally if the opponent hits hard. So, I guess it is good but with precision.
Hi Ryan,
If you have the opportunity to play a more aggressive response like a counter spin then that is usually better than a block. However sometimes we don’t have enough time to be able to do this.
In that situation look to make your block as effective as possible with placement or speed.
Learn the effects of using normal rubber, short pimples, long pimples and anti spin. This is an introduction that shows how much spin each type of rubber can generate and how a spinning ball reacts when hit with each type of rubber.
