Hi,

Take a look through our lessons on the Backhand Block and the Backhand Chop for information on these shots.

To play against them, it is best to use the topspin.  Against block you can use the Forehand Topspin Against Block and against chop you can use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
