How to deal with heavy topspin as a defender when we are pushed away from the table

Alois Rosario Answered 4 years ago

Hi,

Try to have a more vertical stroke to deal with the heavy topspin. Also have a softer hand to absorb some of the spin.

Take a look at our tutorials on Backhand Chop and Forehand Chop to help you as well.
