Backhand shot against topspin with Long pips

Strokes

Hi 

I play with long pips and i tend to use them with my backhand.

lately i have been noticing that with heavy topspin the ball either goes into the net or off the table.

I tend to play a push/chop kind of shot and this is not working.

i was wondering what shot i should play with long pips on my backhand to prevent this.

Thanks a lot

Hi Will,

The best option is to play a chop block type of shot.  So coming down on the ball.  The angle depends on the type of spin and speed that you are getting.

We have a lesson on Long Pimple Chop Block that will help.
