When better to use chop block?
Hi Erfan,
If you have some time to adjust to this stroke then it can be effective. It can be useful if your opponent is very good at the fast game or doesn't adjust well to changes in pace.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
