Struggling with Forehand and backhand chop
Strokes
Manish Vaidya Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alex,
This is Manish, you know what whenever I try Forehand or backhand chop stroke the ball goes back quiet high on the table giving opponent a chance to smash. I have lost quiet a few matches because of that, for sure something is horribly wrong with my technique.
Regards
Manish

Hi Manish,
To keep the ball lower, try to brush under the ball more. If you hit it flat it will tend to go higher. By brushing the bottom of the ball you will find you will generate more spin and also be able to keep the ball lower.
