Block a smash

I need to know how to block power smacks.

Hi Ramiz,
This takes a lot of skill. You need to watch the ball very carefully and then use your bat as a wall to block the ball back. You need to keep your hand relaxed to absorb some of the speed.
This is not a shot that you can practice too often. It is more a matter of luck to guess the direction as well.
