Hi,

i often do backhand chop. occasionally, slow spinny topspin comes back. My chops go high on the end of the table, how to return low backspin ball?

Hi,

To get the chop lower you need to have a more vertical stroke.  Also think about keeping your hand softer to absorb some of the speed and spin on the ball.

Take a look at our tutorials on the Forehand Chop and Backhand Chop for more help.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
