Hi Pingskills,

I play with player who have crazy forehand topspin he has a lot of topspin and is so fast I cant block that spin.  I have Long Pimples on my backhand and it is very very hard to block or cut that spin. How that player create that spin and have to block?

Hi Ivan,

Take a look at our lesson on the Long Pimple Chop Block.

If there is more spin, your stroke needs to come straight down.  Also take the ball early off the table, as close to the bounce as you can.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
