Penhold chop

Strokes

Hari Krishnan Asked 14 years ago

Hey coach!

is it possible to chop in penhold backhand if so how and from which side of the racket?

Jeff Plumb Answered 14 years ago

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.
