So i play against someone who hits really hard so when i try to hit the ball back it goes too far and doesn't hit the table what should I do?

Hi Kyoung,

See if you can keep your hand relaxed when making this block. This will help to absorb some of the speed of the ball. You can also try to put a little topspin on the block to get the ball to drop quickly. You don't need much topspin, just brush over the ball gently.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
