Strokes
Hi alois
I have a question! How can i block a heavy smash or lob it ?
It is better with the backhand?

Hi Gafur,
To block a smash you need to be lucky. You need to watch the ball really closely and then use the technique that we show you in the lesson on the Backhand Block. You can also move back away rom the table if you get time. Then use the Lob.
A more important thing is to try and prevent them from making the smash by keeping the ball lower over the net.

In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
