Most player neglect blocking , but so many points can be won with good block. Thanks. Can you a tuto how to orient the paddle , example of Koki Niwa.

You are mad

[@teckhonghong3628]

I was hoping there will be future lessons on blocking against slow spinny loop and fast loop kill.

[@TomLodziak]

Yes there will. Hopefully next month I will have a video on this topic.

This video wouldn't happen to have anything to do with me suggesting it the other day, now would it? Lol

Nice to see you Paul 🙂👍

[@divinentd]

Good stuff! I've added this to my collection of "Irregular Drills". Also, I bet this would make a great footwork drill with a robot.

[@TomLodziak]

Yes, you could do these with a robot too.

hi , I'm good at blocking but I have a question, I play well but when it comes to a match , I lose to players that are not as good at me - why ?

[@regular_loser_5699]

Are you blocking nice, easy ball back to your opponents and let them hit a hard one, or are you placing them precisely that your opponents are surprised and out of position?

[@jaseamondo]

You may have more skill but worse game tactics

[@juliuscaesar5001]

You Need to analyse your games to see your mistakes and correct them ,you can record your games on camera and watch it after and work on the mistakes in your training sessions, its very important not to get frustrated and keep training hard and I am sure you gonna defeat your opponents.

[@TomLodziak]

It could be any number of reasons. You need to analyse your own performance when playing matches. How do you lose points? Do you struggle to return serves? Are you too passive? Do you make too many attacking mistakes? If you can work out what is going wrong, then you can work on fixing it. Here's an article I wrote a while ago about replicate training form in league matches www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/how-to-replicate-training-form-in-league-matches/

[@eloimumford5247]

i suggest to look at Waldner videos how he blocks by steering his paddle to drive the ball at his chosen location ...like a missile.

In our lessons we are explainig this very analyticaly. Check them out with speed x1.15 :) Tom, if you dont mind me posting this, I have few tips also. do a small jump before every block. This way your body when you land have tendency to go lower. timing is in Ep02 Ch.3. Raise the tip of your bat to your chin level and try to almost get your head into ball path (see the ball almost facing your chin) . This will help you with 3 things at once. When you go down you also pushing your body weight to the ground so the block will be more controled and your hand will not raise (as it does now). It improves your footwork, timing and posture.
