Hi Pingskillsteam!

Like rallies you see between the chinese team especially Ma long and Zhang jike...

I don´t have enough control in my stroke!

Hi Andi,
Firstly you need to develop the control by blocking well. Once you have done that the counter topspin is an extension of the block. You have a little bigger backswing and follow through. Your contact is brushing. You can have your stroke go nearly completely forward because you don't need to lift the ball at all because they have already provided the topspin.
I think the best lesson for you to look at is the one on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

Countering a Chop Block
The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.
