Hi Ragavan,

The basic principle of topspin against heavy chop is to make the topspin stroke more vertical. So you start with your bat low and bring it up almost vertically with the top edge of your blade coming through first and cutting the air. The more chop the more vertical your stroke needs to be.

I hope this helps. Also look at our online lesson on the Forehand Topspin against Backspin and this will help you.
