Hi Alois/Jeff,

I am looking forward for you guys to create a video regarding the backhand punch. I believe this is a good stroke for our fellow pingskillers to learn. 

I was wondering the timing of this stroke and the bat angle. 

Thanks!

Hi Luigi,

If you take a look through the lesson on the Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin you will see a section in there on the Punch.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
