Hi,Rosario.

Your competence is important for development in table tennis.

In which situations mostly are used counter shots? There is difference among them and blocks...But I dont understand which difference specifially - vs topspin drive ,vs service....

Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,

The type of counter shot depends on the time you have.  Take a look at our lesson on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin which may also help.

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.
