Why do professionals like to topspin a chop
Strategy
Anonymous User Asked 12 years ago
i see players often topspin a chop played by a defender instead of chopping it back..
is there any specific reason...
i too like to play defensive...i have seen many matches of joo se hyuk and koji matsushita(legendry defenders), all their opponents often topspin their defensive chop
but when i play in my society or in the club...all players chops back my chop, i wonder why wont they topspin it....this is becouse im not able to play defensive, they dont play any aggressive shots against my chops....
is there any thing that i can do to make them play aggressively.

Hi Yash,
At the higher level the players are good at making the attack against a backspin. Perhaps the players you are playing haven't developed this stroke as yet.
The topspin is usually a more effective stroke to play against a defender because most defenders are very consistent at pushing.

is it important to learn chop stroke or I stuck to my topspin?
If you have time to learn some chopping then do it. To start with though learn the topspin as a priority.

Good at pushing?
not my case.....in my case sometimes even the heaviest backspins often pop out of the table
Do you know what can cause it?
And when I encounter a player who is better pusher I usually lose in a pusihng war,unable to force my opponent to play longer balls.
How can I deal with it while unable to flick or loop it?
