I have been watching Seoul player Joo Se Hyuk. I think he's being recognized as one of the best chop players in the world.

How can I improve the chopping techniques ?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Alex,

Joo Se Hyuk is one of my favourite players to watch.  I love his technique.

We have some lessons on the chop strokes that you will be able to watch and learn from.  Take a look at Forehand Chop and Backhand Chop in our Strokes and Techniques section of our Lessons page.

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.
