    He says, "you need to find a partner who's loop is very spinny." We realize Coach Li's English isn't perfect but he's doing the best he can. We've provided captions so if you have trouble understanding him feel free to turn them on.

    Coach Li please keep these videos coming, I am a beginner and I was able to implement your technique and overcome a heavy top spin the first week instead of just blocking I was able to return strong! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the game and please just ignore the haters, the 15 year old kids that have nothing better to do than make fun and the wanna be experts out there maybe if they took the time to ask you an intermediate level question and you can video it to appease them also.

    I believe he's talking about active block, possibly some small counter-loop. Coach Li is speaking of the pure topspin block where you just adjust racket angle to counter the heavy topspin.

    Yes, counter looping is a better option if possible. The student's question indicated that the incoming ball wasn't high enough for him to effectively attack though and Coach Li answered the question with that in mind.

    I don't think it may be mainly because of the movement, sometimes you just hold the racquet and the ball flies back out, which in this case u gotta block using very soft hand, cause that acts like a cushion and gets the spin or starting the block a lil bit higher, which u can change it to a punch afterwards, I highly recommend counterspinning those balls cause they're mostly hard to block and easier for your opponent to attack u again

    I think this "blocking" technique is only useful when you're able to place a shot where it would be difficult for the opponent to return; otherwise, the opponent will likely be able to return with a more powerful shot, and the game's over...

  • @missmisiowa
    @missmisiowa2 жыл бұрын

    looks fine. however. i experimented with side spinning the incoming loop. this is very effective especially when i have time to step back, half a step and then side spin to counter the incoming top spin. the spin is not taking effect on my rubber and also opponent gets side spin to deal with. it feels that with side spin, the control and placement are easier. try it. also, once the side spin block is 'mastered', the player is one step closer to performing a counter loop.

    Hey TableTennisMaster, I already tried to do so, but my oponent's topspins bounce very flat because of their amount of spin, and they also bounce near the base line. I always think, when I adjust my racket angle even more, the angle between ball bounce and racket will just be too pointed to hit it securely. I got better results playing like a small topspin against it, but this needs more time. Do you understand my point?

    @pokemon17007 Try to angle your racquet lower then. If you can make the ball pass just over the net, the chance of a successful hard offensive move against you is quite slim.

  • @scylla24

    What you are talking about is a lot harder to do. You should search on youtube, Ma Long over the table loop. Its a good video and basically shows the type of stuff you are talking about. It is really hard to get the type of timing and skill to perform this in an in-game situation. It takes a lot of time to be able to reach a level of consistency to be able to actually not just block back a high spinny loop but to add some of your own power and spin behind it.
