Playing against a "blocker"

Strategy

Martin Gooch Asked 6 years ago

Hi,

Do you have any tips or video on how to play against a player who stays close to the table and blocks a lot of their returns?

Hi Martin,

Th most important thing is to vary the spin and speed on the ball and not play fast too often.

We do have a tutorial on this in our "Playing Against" Series on Playing A Blocker.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper

A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
