Blocking spinning loops

Adam,

Thanks for the question.

The key to blocking spinny loops is to be quite firm with them.  It is almost like you are punching them or giving them a short jab back on to the table.  If you try to guide them the ball will often take off from the rubber and go long.  You do still have to get the angle right of course but try to be a bit firmer with them and punch through the ball.

The other important factor is getting in the right position.  Because the spinny loops often travel a bit slower they don't tend to come through to you.  You may need to move a little forward into the ball or get your body closer to the bounce of the ball.

Good luck. Let us know if this helps.
