Hi, I am Randy Daytona, World Champion Ping Pong Master. The Killerspin Crew and I are going to teach you a few of my signature moves and after you fail at those, a few basic ones as well, because as Master Wong would say, “You must learn to crawl before you can walk” or something like that.
Although an attack shot is always preferable, sometimes we just do not have the time because our opponent started the attack with a quick loop to our back hand. We keep it in play by blocking. Choose a placement that makes another attack shot difficult for the opponent and then hopefully, take the initiative on the next shot.
As on the forehand block, we move the body and the hand very little, just getting the racket into the path of the ball. The force it carries will make it bounce back.
Bring your racket hand in front of you, so your forearm points straight across the path of the ball. The racket head is right in front of you, slightly to the left. Slowly move towards the ball to make sure you make clean contact. Let the ball bounce from the table on to your racket.
Contact the ball here. Pay attention to your balance. Use your whole body and not only your arm. If you are blocking a hard shot, hold your hand more firmly and give it less motion. On a softer ball, you can add more forward motion.
