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.
