Strokes
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.
Chop blocks can be deceptive and frustrating — but with the right technique, you can take control.
In this newly updated version of our original video, we break down:
✔ How chop blocks differ from standard blocks
✔ Why timing is crucial when countering
✔ How to adjust your stroke to lift and loop effectively
