Blocking tactics to mess up your opponents

Спорт

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!

    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. :)

    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.
