Playing against a chopper
Strokes
Rohan rajkumar Asked 11 years ago
Hello Alois,
In my club I am unable to play topspin against a chopper.
When he chops a long heavy backspin to my forehand it is tough for me to return the ball , when I topspin the ball it hits the net and I am also not able to push the ball.
And can you also suggest me some drills to play against a chopper. I also practice with him everyday.
Can you please help me. And I am a big fan of you.

Hi Rohan,
It sounds like he may be a good chopper that is able to generate a lot of spin.
If the ball is going into the net, make your stroke more vertical and increase the speed of your swing. This will help to lift the ball.
Also make sure that your rubber still has grip.
