transition-from-defense-to-attack
Hamza Caratela asked 2 weeks ago
Hey guys, just an update with my issue I have with a blocked ball, I’ve managed to sort it out and it’s all good so thanks! My question is:
If someone attacks me, I’m mostly just blocking and the opponent is attacking me. How can I transition effectively from blocking to attack? Thanks

Hey Hamza, that’s great to hear I’m glad you have managed to improve this area! So the idea then is to block a couple of shots and try to play into a difficult area, either into the body or a wide angle to force them into a slightly weaker shot and then look to try and counter attack or play at least a more active block to force a mistake! When you do go for the counter attack it’s important not to force it, so use the speed on the ball from the opponents and keep a short compact stroke. Tom 🙂
