Counter Short Low heavy backspin Chop
Strokes
Eric Soberano Asked 6 years ago
Hello. Can you please let me know how to counter or attack a short, low chop with heavy backspin that occurs anywhere from the net to half-way on the table?

Hi Eric,
The most efficient way is to use a shot push. For our Premium members we have the tutorial on The Push in Detail which covers this area well.
Trying to flick this ball can be difficult as it is hard to lift the backspin. If you are more advanced you could try the Backhand Sidespin Flick or a Strawberry Flick.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.

Though,guys,do you know how troublesome it is when a chopper chops short from huge distance and you just gently lift it over the net,just spinny with no velocity?
