Ma Long's chop block
Strokes

Hi
I wanted to know how Ma Long does his awesome backhand chop block.

Hi Zaid,
He comes down and around the side of the ball. This is a difficult stroke to master. You need a lot of touch to be able to control the speed of the topspin.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

Could you please do a video response
Good idea Zaid. We will put it on the list. Take a look at this win the meantime. Kenta Matsudaira's Sidespin Block which is also pretty good.

Try it against a slow spinny topspin though!

No need to do it against a slow spinny topspin imho, you should be able to attack it.
