Hi Jeff,
Is the chop used for topspin or smash or for anything?

Hi Rahul,
The chop is a stroke that produces backspin. It is a defensive shot that is usually played against your opponents topspin attack.
The push is a similar stroke but the push is played when you opponent also plays a backspin stroke.
