Hi Yong,

For the slower or topspins with less spin you need to have a more forward motion with your chop to create the forward movement.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Chop where we show you this towards the end of the lesson.

If you need any other help on this just let me know.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
