Hello Alois.
I am mostly an offensive player and have been playing like that since i started playing. As a result I am unable to return the ball well when my opponent executes a good first attack to my forehand. Although i favor my forehand for looping and i could back away from the table and counterloop i think a better tactic would be to block and place the ball well especially when i do not have enough time. When the ball lands in front or just to the right of my right shoulder-blade (i am a righty)even though, technically, it is in my forehand zone should i continue to block it with my backhand as long as the ball does not land in a position which is comfortable for my forehand (Iv seen Timo Boll do this) or should i play the block with my forehand by extending my hand more forward?
PS:My backhand block is much better than my forehand block which often sends the ball slower and higher over the net although i am hoping to fix that in next few training sessions.
