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.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
