Strokes
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 13 years ago
hi alois and jeff,
im currently trying to learn to play chop more consistently. after seeing ur videos i felt a bit confused. do i need to lift the ball to get it onto the table and also which part of the chop's stroke do you think i should make contact with the ball? (ie midway, low , or maybe even at the top?)
thanks

Hi Shripathi,
The angle of your bat will lift the ball over the net. By changing the angle of your bat by tilting it backwards the ball will go higher. Also changing the angle of the stroke will change the flight of the ball. By having a more vertical stroke the ball will stay lower but a more horizontal stroke will make the ball travel further.
The contact point should be roughly in the middle of the stroke. This is a general principle for most strokes.
