Strategy
Hey coach,how can I defend backspin chops?
Hi Surja,
I think the best thing is to play a topspin stroke. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. If you can work on the stroke, you will be able to dominate the defensive player.
If you do want to remain defensive then you can Push the ball back as well.
Question actions
Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
