Hi Lan,

You can put a little topspin on your block by just going forward and over the ball a little on contact.  Instead of cntacting the ball flat you brush the top of the ball slightly.

There doesn't need to be a name for it, but you can call it a block spin if you like.  If you put more topspin on it, you could call it a counter topspin.

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.
