Hi,

When i make backhand chop with long pimples, topspin that my opponent gave me doesn't turn into backspin, rather it turns into sidespin. What can i do?

Thanks!

Hi,

The main thing to think about in this situation is the angle of your racket.  Focus on keeping your racket parallel to the ground.  It sounds like your racket is tilted at the moment which will cause the sidespin.
