How to return a backhand chop?

Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago

Hi Dawood,

The best way is to use a topspin stroke. You can see the tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin for tips on how to do the stroke.

This is an important stroke in the game and one that you can spend some time working on.

You can also use the push strokes as well as a variation to bring the hopper closer to the table. This then makes you topspin more effective.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
