Chopping a chopped ball

Strokes

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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
