Hi Alois,

How to block a fast topspin that comes into the middle of my body? I haven't got any time to move, so what should I do?

Hi Nasko,

I think it is probabl easier to move your bat over and use your backhand in the middle.  Even if you don't get into good position focus on getting the ball on the table and then work on the next ball.

Alternately, it is a ood tactic to play the ball fast into your opponent's middle as well.
