Block a smash

I need to know how to block power smacks.

Hi Ramiz,

This takes a lot of skill. You need to watch the ball very carefully and then use your bat as a wall to block the ball back. You need to keep your hand relaxed to absorb some of the speed.

This is not a shot that you can practice too often. It is more a matter of luck to guess the direction as well.

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
