Strokes
After hitting a topspin shot against backspin, I'm usually up close on the table. If my opponent gets a good block on the ball they can usually win the point. Any tips on how to quickly recover after that shot.
Thanks,
Ben

          Hi Ben,
Try staying more relaxed and having a shorter stroke. This will allow you to recover more quickly.
If you play a slower spinny topspin it will allow you more time before the ball comes back as well.
 
                  
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
