Hi Yong,
For the slower or topspins with less spin you need to have a more forward motion with your chop to create the forward movement. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Chop where we show you this towards the end of the lesson.
If you need any other help on this just let me know.

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.
