Receiving all services with chop

Mehmet Demir Asked 7 years ago

hi coaches

Can we receive all kind services with heavy chop (or heavy backspin)  Even if the service is short?

cheers

Hi Mehmet,

Yes you can.  If they serve with heavy topspin and short it takes a bit of touch to be able to keep the ball low on the return but it is possible.  You are either using the Push or the Chop stroke.
