Attack against phantom

Strokes

utkarsh agarwal Asked 13 years ago

Im having problem in hitting against phantom (chop). I know how the rubber mechanism works but when i hit a topspin the ball goes to net. When i try to hit flatter it becomes vey easy to return.

Hi Utkarsh,

If the ball is always going into the net then think about opening the face of your racket more and using a more vertical stroke.
