backhand topspin against chop

Cihan Yılmaz Asked 13 years ago

Hi Sir,

When can we make topspin against chop return? Is the chop ball on the top position or when it is going down?  

Thanks in advance

Hi Cihan,

You can hit it at the top of the bounce or later if you wish.  When the ball is at the top of the bounce it is easier to make a strong topspin shot.  When it is falling after the top of the bounce it feels easier to making a lifting slower topspin.  You should try both positions and see what feels best for you.
