Strokes
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.
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
