Among forehand-topspin,push,chop ,which is the best stroke against chop(backspin)?How can we improve that shot?

Hi Vidit,
The best shot is the one your opponent doesn’t like. In general though the topspin will give you the dominant position in the rally. Take a look at the Strokes & Techniques page and look for the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin for tips on how to improve the stroke.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
