Chop block

nischay tibrewal Asked 8 years ago

I just saw a video where Koki Niwa (Japan) blocked some topspin shots in a strange way... He neither block it normally nor he cut it, he combined these 2 and blocked it without showing the cutting action but standing close to the table (like we do to block normally) and cut the ball. I can't understand the shot properly, please tell me how to do that.

Hi Nischay,

Take a look at this one by Koki Niwa's team mate.

Kenta Matsudaira's Sidespin Block

It is a difficult shot to execute.
