Hi,

when my opponent loops the ball to my centre or left, I would block it with my backhand.But when my opponent loops the ball to my right i would have problem blocking as the ball is too fast for me to block. what should i do? Thx

Hi Hao,

I think it may be a matter of practicing your forehand block.  Watching the ball careful is also anpther key.

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Block for tips on how to get it right.

Sidespin Forehand Topspin

Curve the ball past your opponent with the sidespin forehand topspin. The sidespin not only causes the ball to curve but also makes it very difficult to return.

Watch Samsonov.  I notice he will block a little behind his body if the shot is really fast.  Especially on third ball attacks
