Strategy
Bala Srivatsav Yerramilli Asked 7 years ago
Hi,
My playing style is that of an attacker, so I just wanted to know whether it is good to add some defensive chop, either as a surprise tactic or to develop it as part of my game.
Thanks!

Hi Bala,
You can add some defensive play to your game. I think it develops control of the ball as well.
In a match work out the tactics you want to utilise most of the time.
