Drills for a blocker

[Der_Echte]

Also a good time to develop block variations like no-spin block and side-swipe.

@Yosua.. Yeah.. I have become a pseudo coach now. ;-)

Still a loooong way to go before I side swipe or chop block. But at least the conventional block is getting better. I am not yet fit for footwork drills. I can only move gingerly. However, there is no pain. The knee has healed but it needs to regain strength. Till then, block, block, block it is.

Haha amazing to hear, Sir
Anyway if it is a handicap in your footwork, you might want to learn some counterattacking skill which includes strokes with short backswing and above all, good anticipation and placement..
Learning to notch up your blocks would be a very viable way to train your so-needed good anticipation..
Blocking is still a dangerous weapon these days, so go for it, Sir!

I would like to see you play someday
