I was watching the Ayalog youtube channel that was posted on TTD, and I noticed that Aya doesn't have the same power as many of her male opponents. But she is still beating most of the men. It's pretty obvious that she's winning because she stands closer to the table than they do, cuts off the angle, hits the ball early, and counter punches the mens' loops.
I think this is the stroke that I need to be learning if I want to improve as a player. So what's the best way to learn this stroke? Is it basically just the same as a block, but with more forward movement?
Why is she able to hit this shot so consistently? Usually when somebody is looping me with their full power, I do well just to block it back into play.
