Hi Haseeb,

Watch our video called "topspin to topspin" to learn more about how to counter topspin. As for improving your placement when blocking, try getting your opponent to loop the ball to your backhand and you play one ball to their forehand and one ball to their middle. This will get you used to playing the ball accurately and help your overall placement.
