Playing against a powerful player

Strategy

Yoan Pelletier Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois,

I know a guy who plays very well, he attacks absolutely everything. His attacks are very powerful and almost no spin. Even if there is a lot of chop in my ball, he attacks it. He never misses ... How should I play him?

Hi Yoan,

The best form of defence is attack.

Try to keep the ball short enough so that he can’t attack and take every opportunity to make the first attack at him. Often these type of players have a less effective defence so that is an areas that you can exploit.

For our Premium members we have a lesson in our Match Strategy on Playing An Attacking Looper.
