Forehand side chopping block

Hello coaches!

I'm Eugene from Moscow. I'm interested in a stroke that I'm probably inventing as I've never seen it used. You know the backhand block executed with the wrist movement when the bat curves the ball on its side and decreases its spin and speed. It is usually executed by rigth handers aginst left handers to block against the forehand topspin.

I'm wondering if the same kind of stroke can be executed on the forehand side. Is it implementable as the wrist bends not as well to the outer side as to the inner side?

Thank you.

Hi Evgeny,

This is possible.  I guess that it isn’t used a lot because players tend to try and counter topspin the ball if they have a chance on the forehand.  It can be effective though.  I think Waldner used it sometimes... but he was the master of touch...
