Hello coach :) I have some question about the game against long pimples opponent. I know you have made a video about it. some parts I don't understand. I'm a person who likes to play a backspin/chop and attack when I have a chance with topspin... is it like that: when I Play a backspin and the chopper plays a backspin too the ball comes back to me without any spin and I can attack it with a topspin? or the situation when I play a backspin and the chopper plays block/no spin the ball comes with a backspin too and I can't attack it?

Hi Pawel,

If you put backspin on the ball it will come back to you with some topspin.  You can attack that ball if you are in a good position.
