Hi Umesh,

I am glad that your game is improving.

The best way to do flick a backspin ball is with the Backhand Sidespin Flick.  This will help to lift the ball over the net and counter the backspin on the ball.

Umesh, when you say "heavy chop" what exactly do you mean? How short behind the net is your opponent placing this shot?

Arjan, heavy chop means, when the ball is short on the table & full of spin and if i try topspin shot , then ball goes in the net. Pl. help.
