hi

i really like ur videos and as a sugestion i would like u all to make a video for tactics eg- tactics against defender(choppers,blockers etc) tactics against all round players and tactics against ofensive players.

heres the question theres a boy in my school who is sort of an allround player but mostly blocks all the time against me (im an ofensive player) and when he gets an oppotunity to smash or topspin he really hits it hard and i cant block or lob (if im standing back) so please help me on this one.

i really love ur videos

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the suggestion and your feedback about the videos.

We have had a few people suggest similar ideas about tactics so we will need to do that one.  We are currently working on our Training Video.  We have put your suggestion on our list.  Watch the website.

To play against good blockers, you need to vary the speed and spin on your topspins. Good blockers usually prefer the ball coming through faster and at the same speed to them.  If you can slow down some of your topspins and put more and less spin on them, they tend to have more trouble.

Tactical Planning

Spin, speed and placement are the 3 things you need to focus on when coming up with your tactics against each of your opponents. Start with the serve and your third ball attack. Figure out what type of serve your opponent finds most difficult. Find out where is the best place to direct your first attack. Is your opponent better at blocking with their backhand or forehand? Does your opponent prefer a faster topspin or a slow spinny topspin? Do the same for your returns.
