Hi Alois,
How do i block forehand sidespin topspin? The ball keeps going away from me.

Hi,
Try adjusting for the amount of sidespin by altering the angle of your bat. The sidespin will drag the ball off to the side off your bat. Just angle the bat slightly to compensate for this. The sidespin will also mean that there isn't as much lift on the ball. It may feel like th eball is also being drageed down. Just open the angle of your bat slightly to compensate for this.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
