Blocking

Hi Alois,

How do i block forehand sidespin topspin? The ball keeps going away from me. 

Hi,

Try adjusting for the amount of sidespin by altering the angle of your bat.  The sidespin will drag the ball off to the side off your bat.  Just angle the bat slightly to compensate for this.  The sidespin will also mean that there isn't as much lift on the ball.  It may feel like th eball is also being drageed down.  Just open the angle of your bat slightly to compensate for this.
