Attacking Deep Chops on Backhand
Strokes
Sam Evans Asked 13 years ago
I struggle to deal with deep chops on my backhand. How do I attack from this position?
Jeff Plumb Answered 13 years ago
The key with this is to make good position. If you are too close to the ball and it comes really deep, it can be hard to topspin a backspin push off the bounce. Try to track the ball really closely with your eyes and if you see it coming really deep, then you can take a small step backwards. If you are a little rushed, as a right hander you can move your left foot back a bit and turn a bit more side on, this will give you a little more room to make the backhand topspin.
