Chopping a smash
Strokes
Linus Koh Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
I know one of the option to return a smash is to lob the ball back but I am scared my opponent will smash it back. So can you make a video of how to chop a smash back.

Hi Linus,
It is an option to chop a smash. Â It is the same stroke as we show you in the lesson on the chop. Â You just need to adjust for the lack of topspin and the extra speed.
I hope some of the Premium members will vote for you.

Forehand Chop
The forehand chop is a defensive stroke played away from the table. It is mainly used by defenders but can also be incorporated into an attackers game when forced away from the table.

I assume it's not a party trick if you use LP, SP or Anti because you can't really lob with these rubbers so you have no choice but to chop a smash?
