Hi Alois I'm starting to love chopping as it's so natural for me, and everyone uses the same tactic long serve to my pimps then 1 spin 1 push haha. Once I get into a chopping rhythm its fine, but a place i am having trouble with is receive, sometimes whrn they serve to my pimps it can tend to go a little high when I 'mini chip recieve which allows them a good aim at my elbow wide bh etc. How can I fix this thanks.

Hi Tam,

Glad you are feeling comfortable now with chopping.

For the return you can try mixing this up with a roll or hit.  Even if you do it sometimes it will change their balance and rhythm.  Even taking the ball earlier or later can change their rhythm.
