Blocking heavy topspin

Farhan Hashim Asked 6 years ago

I have seen your videos on how to block heavy topspin in 3 ways ie passive punch and counter topspin, however I feel that with heavy loop landing at table end should be done passively ie with soft hands, in case heavy spin lands inside table then it should be punched and when heavy spin trajectory is low and lands well inside table then counter top spin should be made. What are your thoughts on this.

Hi Farhan,

This is a reasonable way to look at your options.

Like with everything in the game the amount of time and your position will help you to decide the stroke to play.
