How do I block a Smash?

Hi Venkat,

This is really difficult!  You really need to guess the right direction of the ball and then get your angle just right.  You are better off to move back from the table and trying to lob the ball back.  this will give you a bit more time.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
