Struggling with Forehand and backhand chop
Strokes
Manish Vaidya Asked 9 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
