Hey Kevin, yes sometimes when players block using a penhold grip they can hit the ball quote flat and it comes through with almoa backspin feeling, so I’m sure this is what you were up against. You really need to add more topspin to your shots to avoid it going in the bet and brush the ball well.
Also often these type of blocks drop quite short in the table so you need to be on your toes and ready to move in closer to the ball to play your next shot. I’m sure after some time getting used to this you will have mo problems! Dan 🙂
