I finally find how called my favorite type of blocks - this is a "chop block"! My friends very dont like it because they cannot effectively counter it and lose ball in more then 70% times!
Good blocking tactics, appreciate it! I just want to say, that I’m not using blocks so often, but when I use them I usually use the first block you mentioned, it’s probably the best. My tactic then is just to make some blocks and then change to attack when the ball comes right and the opponent doesn’t expect it. mostly a backhand loop or forehand topspin attack. :)
ive been self training myself for almost 7 years and my stronger side is blocking my types of blocking are Slow and Switch of course my opponents are mostly playing offensive and thats how i developed my blocking skills(kinda...) and watching this video now makes it even easier for me thx dude keep up the good work!
In my opinion, the chop block only be used when you are out of your position so it is just for remedial usage but not use it when you are well prepared
Joevy YT It depends if you are good at it and what rubber/blade you use. Using a specialist chop rubber, absolutely no one should be able to anything but push back your chop if you do it properly.
Very useful,I win more matches against my friends now. But the switch block does not really help cause my friends stand in the middle of the table. But still the rest are great.
The thing about these videos -- and I think it's probably inevitable -- is there's very little that these people who have spent years perfecting these specific, minute movements can actually say to teach you to do it like they do. They can make it look easy, but the reality is that none of it will be easy for you unless you're already well practiced and fundamentally quite solid.
This was my dads game, he was heavy and couldn’t move well. He was a master at it. We had him play one of the best players in the USA years ago. But we didn’t tell him who it was. My dad always played with the view that you were taking food from his family, so he was able to beat him every time. The man said to my dad that he’d never seen anyone play that good with blocking.
Hey thanks for the tips, I just started playing Eleven Table tennis VR and its amazing how your tips have a real effect in the game. not sure if you have tried VR it would be great to see what you think of the realisium aspects. thanks for ya tips.
Excellent! I like to use it, especially unexpected, quickly off the bounce. Might I add another? To target the opponent's transition point, especially if pen holder. My Chinese friends referred to it an an "embarrassing point"!
In addition to the slow block, to slow down the speed even more we can move the bat towards our body right before in contact with the ball, imagine touching something hot and move away as soon as we touched it. This technique is called "吸" in Chinese TT and is translated into "suck", like sucking the ball towards you... you get the idea.

Hey, I think that you should create a new video as a part 2 to this, Tom. You need to tell people what they have to do with their feet immediately after each of these styles of blocks. It's incredibly important. You know this firsthand since those particular foot movements after blocks are a huge thing holding your level of play back. I actually think it's more important to teach TT players how to think about their next actions as soon as they finish each shot. It's where every single player on earth falters at multiple points in every single match. The higher the level, the less faltering there is. But, it's never NONE for anyone. And clearly, there's a major correlation between level of play and footwork. And as you look deeper into it, you find that footwork IS partial causation for level of play. So, since you struggle with the exact thing I'm talking about, why not make a part 2 to this and help the TT playing world out + practice something you should currently be working on personally, and kill two birds with one stone?
Usefull... especially for us who don't have coaches and just learn by our selves
Angelo Cruz what do you think is better doing table tennis lesson or self train
@@osv4ldoneto lessons are always FASTER. however, BETTER depends on the player.

In this case you won’t face people that can do top spin
Switch Block @ 0:55
Fast Block @ 2:43
Slow Block @ 4:03
Chop Block @ 5:35

I have watched many of your videos and guess what, I am now easily winning my playing partner who was usually winning , great coach
Great stuff. Always nice when you start beating someone you couldn't before. Keep up the good work!
I realized just now that I do the slow block to counter the speed 'rather unknowingly'. Thanks for the sum up. I will apply in my upcoming tournament.
Good luck for your tournament!
Yup

Koki niwa has absolutely mastered the chop block. It just insane in the way he turns the game. A brilliant tutorial though.
Yes - his chop block is amazing and looks so effortless. Wish I could do it like him!
@@TomLodziak lol

Good teacher.
Thank you very much for theses videos🏓
Good morning! blocking killerspin the best form of hand technique.
Top info as usual.... Awesome
I'm pretty good at the first three types of block. Time to start training the chop block!
In my opinion, the chop block only be used when you are out of your position so it is just for remedial usage but not use it when you are well prepared
Then see koki niwa he always in position
Joevy YT It depends if you are good at it and what rubber/blade you use. Using a specialist chop rubber, absolutely no one should be able to anything but push back your chop if you do it properly.
Thanks for giving such nice tips 🙏🙏
Thank you for your useful tips!

But the switch block does not really help cause my friends stand in the middle of the table.
But still the rest are great.
Great.. i always practice base on your video and its very usefull to do. Thanks tom
Thanks so much for making this video which is extremely helpful and practical!
Good techniques, awesome to learn.
this video helped me a lot!

Simply great.
Thanks coach.

Good video! Blocking is so underrated. ma long is the best because he can starts his offense with good defense

Best coach..to me newbie player tenis
Thank's mr.tom lozdiak😁
Excellent one there coach
Gr8 tips here ... cheers tom
These containment tactics are the best defense for energy savings!!!
Yes i like ur techniques, tq
Thankyou so much sir for helping me to improvise my skills.... If possible make a video on improvising backhand.....
It was very helpful and hopefuly,I try to get them right in the game😅
great...spesial my example playing..mantul & mantap
Enjoyed a lot aaaaa...., പൊളിക്കും
awesome! i need to practice my backhand more
Chop block is difficult and requires intensive practise. Switch block is highly effective. Should aim for corners
This was my dads game, he was heavy and couldn’t move well. He was a master at it. We had him play one of the best players in the USA years ago. But we didn’t tell him who it was. My dad always played with the view that you were taking food from his family, so he was able to beat him every time. The man said to my dad that he’d never seen anyone play that good with blocking.
Amazing indeed!
Good training...
very useful Tipps.
Superbbbb!!!👍👍✌
I agree with you because your theory is near to mine.
Ito mima mainly use this block + switch angle/ smash / flat hit / frick / push
Really nice.
you are a great coucher 😊
thanks.... 🙏🙏🙏
Your videos helps, thank u so much. :)
Thank you!
Cool tom. Thanks
Good one
Are you TT PLAYER??
Great video. I do some of this but I’m gonna start thinking about which one I’m doing more. Except chop block. That looks crazy difficult haha
Pls make a video on phantom usage
Keep Uploading Tom tnks....

Very nice
Thanks!
Excellent! I like to use it, especially unexpected, quickly off the bounce. Might I add another? To target the opponent's transition point, especially if pen holder. My Chinese friends referred to it an an "embarrassing point"!
Yes agreed, the crossover is another very good position to block to, especially if you block fast.
Melhor que academia, perde calorias pra caramba. Rapidez de raciocínio
Thanks sir,
But can you explain "chop block" in detail.
I find it hard to use it in game.
In addition to the slow block, to slow down the speed even more we can move the bat towards our body right before in contact with the ball, imagine touching something hot and move away as soon as we touched it. This technique is called "吸" in Chinese TT and is translated into "suck", like sucking the ball towards you... you get the idea.
Yes - that's a good blocking variation too. I do it every now and again but didn't know what to call it. But now I will call it the suck shot!
