Ma Long's chop block
Strokes
Zaid Jamal Asked 8 years ago
Hi
I wanted to know how Ma Long does his awesome backhand chop block.

Hi Zaid,
He comes down and around the side of the ball. This is a difficult stroke to master. You need a lot of touch to be able to control the speed of the topspin.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

Could you please do a video response
Good idea Zaid. We will put it on the list. Take a look at this win the meantime. Kenta Matsudaira's Sidespin Block which is also pretty good.

Try it against a slow spinny topspin though!

No need to do it against a slow spinny topspin imho, you should be able to attack it.
