How to block a heavy topspin if your about 1m away from the table? I find it difficult to block it and it always goes out of the table as i couldn’t control it..

Hi Sarang,
This is a really difficult ball to control.
Use soft relaxed hands and just focus on keeping the ball low over the net. Use a block type of stroke. It takes a lot of touch to be able to control this ball. It is something that will develop over time with training.

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.
