How to Chop Block
Strokes
yoyo Fu Asked 14 years ago
can you make a video to this. Is it more chop/push than block or is it more block going downwards. <-many people disagree with which one is right.
I twiddle and try to chop block with both my inverted and long pips.
Thanks Very Much

Hi Yoyo,
The chop block is, as the name suggests a combination of both. You are using a downward action like a chop. It is probably easier with the long pips because the pips absorb some of the speed of the ball. With the inverted rubber you need to have rally soft hands to absorb the speed.
This does sound like a video opportunity.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
