One of my friend makes a topspin with some sidespin I can block the attack but i am not able to block it to his backhand it always goes to forehand as i am a penholder what should i do to counter his forehand sidespin attack

Hi Nikhil,
To make it go to his backhand it is easier to use your backhand. This will give you the easier angle to hit it over to that side of the table. So next time, step over and use you backhand block and angle it over there.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

by using my backhand it goes to the middle of the table but not his backhand
Push it forward towards his backhand. Hit the ball quite flat.
