In this video, pro player Paul Drinkhall, shows how to do a forehand counter-topspin.
Counter-topspin is a shot played close to the table. Your opponent plays a looping attack. Instead of blocking, you play a short counter-topspin attack instead.
The result? Usually a clean winner. The ball goes past your opponent before he or she even realises.
This is an advanced shot. It requires a lot of practice and skill to do consistently.
In the video, Paul explains how to execute the shot, how to practice and when to use the shot in matches.
