hello pingskills

i was wondering what would happen to the ball if a player chopped a ball back to me and I decided to chop it back. I haven't tried it before as it is very hard to find defensive players in my areas to practice with. (I'm an offensive player)

thank you very much

Hi Bryan,

This is possible.  It is like a push stroke.  You may need to open the angle of the bat up a bit to counter the backspin the ball.
