How can you do a backhand and forehand chop when you are a penholder?

Hi Martin,

It is a more difficult stroke.  That is why you don't see many penhold choppers.  I know of one that still plays in Fiji.

It is a matter of getting the bat angle right and laid right back.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
