Hey Nick, nice video. Question about blocking: When I think of "blocking" I think of keeping my paddle still with a super loose grip and just absorbing the shot, whereas in your video it seemed like you were actually countering the shot. Tell me if I'm right here: if your opponent is at the baseline, even if they're hitting a 9-10 shot, you should still have enough time to hit a counter attack, but if they are in the midcourt or closer and hit a hard low shot, then you don't have enough time to counter and should instead block and concede the kitchen. Does that make sense?
@NicholasWade_PBАй бұрын
Thank you! When you start off blocking especially at the beginner levels players will usually not move the paddle and just absorb the shot. As you progress up the levels players are able to do more with the blocks. Rather than just absorb the pace and leave the next ball sitting up, those players will now be able to rebound some of the pace off the drive. This part of the video describes how to calculate how much pace to give back off the different drives you receive. For me, I love if a player drives the ball at me, as it sets up an easy shot for me to rebound their pace, therefore giving me an advantage in the point. It's all about the timing of the block, compacting the swing, and using the right amount of power. Hope this helps!
@dk2373Ай бұрын
@@NicholasWade_PB Thanks for the detailed response. So are there any instances where you are just blocking and not rebounding their pace? Like if they are coming in aggressively forward at the midcourt and hitting a 10 drive? Or maybe that's a case where you actually want to take a quick step back from the NVZ line and still counter?
@NicholasWade_PBАй бұрын
@@dk2373 Yes there's definitely instances when I'm just purely blocking, this is usually when I'm slow to get up to the NVZ or they absolutely rip a drive and all I can do is block back into play. Hope this helps!
