Chopping the Ball

Strokes

Some of my opponents are not confident against chops, but 1 in every 2 or 3 of my chops will not touch their side of the table, so they win the point.  Are there any training drills to solve this problem?

Hi Ciaran,

You need to practice your chops more.  The more you do it the better you will get and maybe get to a stage where you make 9 out of 10.
