How to play Jan Ove Waldner power block?

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.
