Backhand chop or forehand chop as a defender

Strategy

Someone Anyone Asked 4 years ago

Hi!

Modern defenders at high level do backhand chop mostly. Why?

Alois Rosario Answered 4 years ago

Hi,

Most have the slower rubber on the backhand side, a long pimple or thinner sponge.

This allows them to control the faster balls more easily and then they use their forehand to make the attack when they get the opportunity.
