Lifting a Chop

Praveen Kalluraya Asked 12 years ago

Hi my question is if the recieve of the top spin is made through chop how can i hit back the chop.

Hi Praveen,

You can make another topspin off the chop. You will need to lift the chop with a more vertical stroke on the forehand topspin. The chop could have quite a lot of backspin on it so that is why you will need to have a vertical stroke to lift it over the net.

It is best not to try to smash this ball as the backspin will drag it into the net.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.

Use more vertical stroke and get a bit of speed through the stroke with your bat moving up fast. You need to make sure you are getting that brushing action though.
