Chop block
Strokes
Jason Bui Asked 5 years ago
Is it possible to chop block a smash? I’ve heard Adam bobrow could chop block a smash and works effectively.

Hi Jason,
It is possible but it is very difficult. It is much easier to block the ball with a bit of topspin so that the ball going back can dip onto the table

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
