Tim Sodelund Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois! I have a simple question: Can i use the block on the forehand side as on the backhand?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Tim,

You can use a forehand block. It is used when yo don't have time to make an attacking stroke and are looking for more placement to win the point.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Block. It will help you with your technique.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:

Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.
Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.
Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
