Chopping the Ball
Strokes
Ciaran Rueda Asked 11 years ago
My friend hates it when I chop the ball to him because he is not great at getting back backspin. However, I often miss the table because I try to get the ball over the net. Is there a training drill to solve this problem?

Hi Ciaran,
Yes, you can just practice the chop stroke on training. You can get your partner to topspin to you or just chop back to you and try to get the ball on the table consistently.

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
