In this video, I share three classic tactics which defensive players can use to beat attacking players.
These tactics are:
- Ball placement variation
- Shot variation
- Spin variation
These tactics are timeless and should form the general tactical approach of any defender. If you get good at using all three tactics, you can really disrupt the attacking rhythm of your opponent and win lots of cheap points.
In the video Martin Gray is taking on the role of the defender. He is using long pimples on one side and inverted rubber on the other.
