Hi Shreyas,

The Power Block or Punch as we call it comes from hitting the ball quite flat and at the highest point of its trajectory.  It is basically a block but you hit through it faster and flatter to get the ball to move faster.

We have a video on this as part of our video on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.
