Punch ball

Strokes

Marksman Brian Asked 11 years ago

hello coach,

i saw that some of professional players tend to punch the ball when they do the block

what's the differences between the ordinary block?

Hi Brian,

The punch is basically a fast block. You hit the ball flat but fast. You can see some footage of it in our lesson on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
