Thanks for the prompt answers to all my questions,you guys are doing great work. Recently while watching a video of Joo Se Hyuk play,i saw him returning smashes by chopping the ball.On return the ball was curving heavily in the air.How does this happen and can it be done with other shot? How can we practice this? Please demonstrate with a video....Thanks.

Hi Tejas,

The curve in the air happens because on this shot he is putting sidespin.  It is more noticeable because the ball is travellng over a greater distance.  If you put sidespin on a shot when close to the table it will still curve but it won't have as much time to curve a lot.
