Hi Sohan,

In general it is better to block if you have the opportunity but it depends on the ball and your opponent.  If your opponent doesn’t like to play against a chop ball then chop can be better but a block gives your opponent less time and allows you to get into a more attacking position in the rally.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
