Countering unique topspin
Strokes
usman rauf Asked 15 years ago
Hi Coach
What if the a topspin shot curves like when it is hit it goes up and curves to come down quite near the surface of the table at my end. It is quite difficult to deal with that kind of shot. How to deal with it effectively?

Hi Usman,
The general way to counter a topspin is to use the block. Using this stroke you can counter the topspin that your opponent has put on the ball.
We also have a lesson on how to counter a slow spinny loop that may be more applicable to the shot you are describing. Watch both of these lessons and let me know if this helps you out.
