Offensive blocking with sidespin.

The Swedish team often speaks of finding the Peak, or Top of the Bounce, the highest point to contact the ball.

Counter-looping with Sidespin

It's better to counter with sticky rubber so it will get a good grip on the ball.

Find the top of the bounce on all shots.

There are 2 ways to push the ball down -- over the ball and the side of the ball. You can create these really strange arcs.
