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.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
