Hi Roger,

I think that making a sidespin back is one of the easiest ways to deal with it.  Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.  In there Jeff is blocking the ball.  You can do this but you need to allow for the sidespin by angling your bat slightly.  So if the ball is going to spin off to your left, you need to face the bat to the right and vice versa.

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.
