Returning a Chop
Strokes
Sourav Mehra Asked 12 years ago
Hi,
I can do a chop against a smash. But how to return that chop. By opening the angle of the bat a little or by topspinning it?
Thanks

Hi Sourav,
You can return that ball with a push or a topspin. If you are going to topspin it you need to lift the ball with a more vertical stroke to be able to get the ball over the net because of the backspin.
Take a look at our lessons on the Forehand Push and the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.
