How should I return a power stroke?

Hi Roman,

The best thing is to get a little away from teh table to allow yourself some time to see the ball.  You can play the lob from there.

If you are reacting to the ball in time when you are close to the table you can use the block shot.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
