Recovering from hard positions
Strokes
Harry Fay Asked 12 years ago
Whenever I play I am sometimes pushed to a hard position to recover from, if im pushed off to the far left or right or I'm defending a smash and concentrating on keeping on the table, if this happens, what should I do?

Forehand Chop
The forehand chop is a defensive stroke played away from the table. It is mainly used by defenders but can also be incorporated into an attackers game when forced away from the table.
