Chopping sideways

Strokes

Edwin Lawisan Asked 11 years ago

Hi coach, Can we chopping sideways, like how you do tomahawk serve, instead of brushing it downway? Thanks. Edwin

Hi Edwin,

You can do this but it becomes a bit more risky. For more control it is easier to play with straight underspin.

If you play it well it can be a good variation especially against someone who struggles with spin.
