I have a problem that when ever I try to cut or chop the ball it goes with high trajectory at other side of the table which help opponent to hit the shot easily, I am trying to improve it but facing difficult especially when playing doubles match due to which my pattern irritate a lot and i lose my confidence and started playing more worst. Please help me

Hi,

Try to get a finer contact on the ball.  This will keep the ball lower and it will also get more spin on the ball.

Chopping is a lt about touch and feel of the ball.  A high change in the angle of your racket will make a big difference in the height of the ball.

Also make sure you are keeping your hand relaxed, especially your thumb to allow the bat to absorb some of the speed and spin of your opponent.

The thumb? I guess that's for a backhand chop?

It can be applied for forehand chop too...It is only about being relaxed.

The relaxed thumb allows for the opening of the wrist a lot easier to get position for the forehand push.
