How do face a chop serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Raghu,
The main thing if the serve has backspin is to be able to lift the ball. You can do this by making a push stroke and brushing under the ball allowing the angle of your bat to get the ball up and over the net.
If the serve comes long you can use a topspin stroke to lift it over. You just need to make the stroke more vertical to allow for the chop.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
