Penhold chop
Strokes
Hari Krishnan Asked 15 years ago
Hey coach!
is it possible to chop in penhold backhand if so how and from which side of the racket?

Hi Hari,
Whilst it is possible to chop the ball with the penhold grip, it is not really suited to that style of play. This is why you don't see any choppers using the penhold grip.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
