Only anecdotal evidence is offered for the claim that this tactic will "significantly improve your game." No statistical or other quantitative analysis to back up the claim.
It's a strategy that works sometimes and doesn't work others. Did it work more often or less often than the converse? Is there any statistical difference if the blocked ball is kept in play by the attacking player or his/her partner? Is there any difference in these tendencies between the men's and women's game?
I have many more questions but that's enough to illustrate why this article is much more something to think about and consider than it is in any way something that will lead to significant improvement.
p.s. When playing Edgar Tocs, if you cover up a blocked attack, don't roll the next attack as you're blocker is probably pulling. Whack it hard at his face...

Maybe the reason why many players choose a roll shot after getting blocked is because they are already at the net and can't approach properly for a hard spike. So it might have more to do with the subpar approach and with jumping less high the second time around (at least on the amateur level)

That is entirely true, but the case remains the same, because it oftentimes happens that the person does indeed have a bad approach, he will still be inclined to roll instead of a spike and that can be capitalized on.

A significant point in your article is that tendencies like this are not being noticed. Is it not self evident to you that if a blocker tends to pull on a follow up attack, then it will itself become a noticed trend and the significant point scoring advantage negated? If one tendency is noticed, why not the other? |
