Hi Kermal,

The main drill that you can do is a 3 position footwork.  Do two long positions on the forehand and backhand corner and then a short ball.

Moving in this triangle is a pattern that happens a lot for choppers.

A lot of choppers use a long pimple on the backhand.  A pimple in with thin sponge can be good for control as well.
