Blocking tactics to mess up your opponents

Рет қаралды 1,745,765

In this video I show you how to use your block shot to frustrate and beat your opponents.
You normally use a 'block' to return your opponent's topspin attacks. But don't think of the block as merely a passive, defensive shot. If used well, you can turn defence into attack, force your opponents to make mistakes or even hit outright winners.
In the video I focus on four different blocking tactics you can try. These are the switch block, the fast block, the slow block and the chop block.
Try them all out. You will find some easier than others. But the most important thing is try and mess up your opponents! Good luck!

I finally find how called my favorite type of blocks - this is a "chop block"! My friends very dont like it because they cannot effectively counter it and lose ball in more then 70% times!

@nepipe 5 жыл бұрын

I realized just now that I do the slow block to counter the speed 'rather unknowingly'. Thanks for the sum up. I will apply in my upcoming tournament.

Good blocking tactics, appreciate it! I just want to say, that I’m not using blocks so often, but when I use them I usually use the first block you mentioned, it’s probably the best. My tactic then is just to make some blocks and then change to attack when the ball comes right and the opponent doesn’t expect it. mostly a backhand loop or forehand topspin attack. :)

Joevy YT It depends if you are good at it and what rubber/blade you use. Using a specialist chop rubber, absolutely no one should be able to anything but push back your chop if you do it properly.

The thing about these videos -- and I think it's probably inevitable -- is there's very little that these people who have spent years perfecting these specific, minute movements can actually say to teach you to do it like they do. They can make it look easy, but the reality is that none of it will be easy for you unless you're already well practiced and fundamentally quite solid.

This was my dads game, he was heavy and couldn’t move well. He was a master at it. We had him play one of the best players in the USA years ago. But we didn’t tell him who it was. My dad always played with the view that you were taking food from his family, so he was able to beat him every time. The man said to my dad that he’d never seen anyone play that good with blocking.
