Chop block
Strokes
nischay tibrewal Asked 9 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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
