Blocking Heavy top spin
Strokes
Brahmananda Chakraborty Asked 14 years ago
Hi,
One of the guy in our club hit heavy top spin in both my forehand and backhand side. It has more spin and speed is also good.
Its very difficult to block those. I try to block with my hand very loose & closing the angle of the racket. I also try to contact the ball as early as possible after it touches the tables.
But still I can block only 30 to 40%.
Can you give some tips so that I can block most of his heavy top spin.
Thanks
Brahma

Hi Brahma,
You seem to be doing things correctly. Perhaps you need to just angle you bat even further downwards. You can also try letting the ball come up off the table which will mean you are hitting the ball from higher which will mean you have a bigger margin for error.
