Develop a "common sense" approach to attack against blockers. Options:
- Through - low success rate although softer defenses or extreme power sometimes score
- Around - Melrose literally lost in 2003 against a Marlboro team that excelled at using cut shots to hit crosscourt short. Another 'around' choice is down the line, think Abby Hudson versus Billerica in 2021 or Laura Irwin against Barnstable in 2009 (for older fans).
- Over - not going to happen often
- Tooling - attacker most commonly hits off the outside part of the outside hand of the blocker. Highly effective and unexpected. Watch Coach Donnie's video for more detail.
If you want to become a high volume attacker, understand these approaches are critical.
