Strokes
martinand bernard Asked 11 years ago
hello coach, it's difficult for me to see the angle of my bat to block top spin, is it a good idea to aim the net or to aim a little shorter as if I want to reach the table nearly as if I want a shorter ball? my balls are very high if my opponent as a strong top spin, difficult in english.......thanks to understand

Hi Martinand,
If they are putting a lot of topspin on the ball then you can aim more towards the net. There is a lot of touch required to make this shot. Try to hit the ball when it is higher so that you have a direct line to the table.
Also take a look through our lesson on Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

thanks, I know is difficult!!!!
If the bat is horizontal it is hard to make a good contact because the ball is not seeing much of the bat. If you make the bat more vertical then you will have a better contact on the ball.
