Inconsistent blocking
Strokes
JOYOTOSH DEY Asked 6 years ago
My blocking is very slow and loopy. It is very inconsistent as well. I was always very good and confident on blocking, but ever since I changed my racket about an year back my blocking has become very inconsistent, slow and loopy. I am using Yasaka Mark-V 2.0 on FH and 1.8 on BH on Stiga ARC blade. Please help me if I need to improvise my technique or the rubber-blade combination is not right. I am basically an all round player with good FH and BH topspin close to table and at mid distances.

Hi Joyotosh,
If the block is getting loopy, think about a flatter contact and pushing through the ball more on contact. This should give the ball a more direct path.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
