Receiving deep chops

Strokes

Nishant Vasan Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois

I play an opponent very often and he does deep chops only but when im receiving them they hit the side of the racquet. Can you tell me a solution?

Thanks

Hi Nishant,

Try to close the angle of your racket a bit. You may have the racquet too flat. Face it more to the net. Also the ball may be bouncing lower than you think, because of the amount of backspin on the ball so watch it carefully in flight.
