Ma Long's chop block
Strokes

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.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

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.

That holds true of any incoming shot though

Even a low and short underspin shot?
