Dear coach I am unable to block any of my opponents ball it is loose or spinny. I lose many of my matches because of my block. Please teach me a way to improve it.

Hi Karthick,

If you are having a lot of problem blocking with the short pimples it may be worth login to an inverted rubber for a while till you get better feel for the stroke.  It is easier to block with the inverted.

Take a look at the tutorial on the Backhand Block to make sure you have the technique correct as well.
