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.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
