Hi Alois,

I was wandering does the chop generate backspin or something else?

Hi Basel,

Yes the chop is a backspin stroke. You can vary the amount of backspin that you put on the ball but essentially it has backspin.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
