Hi sir, when to contact the ball when you perform a chop? when the ball is rising or falling? or both are possible? tnx

Hi Sumhar,

It is easier to hit the ball later when the ball has slowed down a little.  It is also more difficult to get the right contact when the ball is rising.  When the ball is falling it is coming down onto the angled bat.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
