Hi Vidit,

The best shot is the one your opponent doesn’t like.  In general though the topspin will give you the dominant position in the rally.  Take a look at the Strokes & Techniques page and look for the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin for tips on how to improve the stroke.

Countering a Chop Block

The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.
