Backhand shot against topspin with Long pips
Strokes
Will Kitson Asked 12 years ago
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
Will

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.
