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.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
