Topspin or chop
Strokes
Roman Sukhanov Asked 14 years ago
Hi Coaches
If a ball comes to my backhand and I feel like making a good topspin but don't have enough time to hit the ball at the highest point, should I bend down on my knees and try to topspin or hold myself and make a good chop?

Hi Roman,
I think the first option is to bend your knees and topspin if you can find the time to make the shot. This will give you a more effective shot. You can also shorten your stroke to give you more time.
If you chop the long ball it will go back long and make an easier attacking shot for your opponent.
