Block and Punch Technique
Strokes
JinMeng Lai Asked 13 years ago
I saw your video on "countering slow spinny topspin". I have 2 queries, hopefully you could help me with.
1) Is the block and punch's bat starting postion the same height?
2) Is there an explanation why went we "counter-topspin", we cannot use the technique in making our strokes go high?

HI JinMeng,
The bat can start at a very similar position for the block and the punch. It is just the force that you come forward with varies.
It is hard to get the counter loop high from close to the table but you can do it when you are further away from the table.
