Thank you Azlan for the wonderful demonstration of the slow loop. Thanks for taking pains to upload these images.
I have also read your earlier posts and found them helpful in improving my game,,

Thanks for pretty much calling Azlan a competent subject matter expert. if you had failed to praise him like you did, I would have flown over to your city and arm wrestled with you.

As for me, I am only a joker and can be viewed upon or called as such anytime.

WiWa, it is easier to block off the bounce these high spin balls for several reasons.

1) The high spin makes a severe "kick" that is difficult to time the further away from ball.

2) Blocking off the bounce leaves no doubts where the ball is and it is easy to make the solid contact consistantly.
You only need to see where it is going and get there. The ball is slow, so it is likely you get there.

3) Blocking off the bounce gives you more possible angles and better control

4) You put opponent under more time presure blocking early

5) The spin is actually easier to control off the bounce.

6) Blocking off the bounce forces you to move to position. When you do this, you will likely be on balance looking over the ball.
The result is you see the ball better and unconciously better correct your bat angle.

The slow loops that kick high, yes, these are perfect for crushing. Some of these loops will not bounce high and you will lose the point trying to crush them unless your timing and stroke are perfect. Sometimes a good block is just as good as a smash.

I still don't get that, but maybe I understood you wrong. By blocking off the bounce do you mean off the bounce as in a dropshot or at 'end-of-table' level? Like next to your body when in 1st position?
