Hello, I want to ask: How can I return a fast topspin stroke without blocking it? What are the options? Thanks. Tibor

Hi Tibor,
You could try to make a counter topspin. Topspin to Topspin. This is harder but possible, if you move away from the table to give yourself more time.
You can also try to chop it back. Backhand Chop. Again this involves moving back from the table to make the stroke a little easier for yourself.

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.
