Hi,

I've already seen the video regarding the backspin return when the spin of the ball is underspin.

What is the best contact of the ball when you want to generate a heavy backhand top spin if the ball you are returning is top spin.

Is it ok to contact the ball when the trajectory of the ball is going down or as early as possible.

Kindly advise.

Thanks.

Hi Gener,

You would come over the ball because of the topspin already on the ball.  Take a look at the lesson on the Topspin to Topspin.  These principles apply to what you are talking about.

Countering a Chop Block

The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.
