Strokes
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.
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
