More backspin

Strokes

Anthony Capasso Asked 10 years ago

Hi guys,

i occasionally mix in a chop far from the table that lacks backspin. I use brand new smooth rubber. How can I get better spin. Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

To get more spin, lay your bat backwards more (facing the roof) and brush under the ball. This will generate more spin.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Chop.
