Returning Heavy Topspin Loops

Strokes

Hi,

I often have trouble returning my opponents loops which have a ton of topspin on them. Should I return these with a block off the bounce or something else? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Max,

You could try blocking the ball. It is probably easier to let the ball bounce a little higher before you hit it.

There are other options as well.  You could also punch or counter topspin the ball. We have made a lesson on this exact thing.  Take a look at the lesson on how to Counter A Spinny Topspin.  Sounds like it was made just for you.
