Defensive terminology

Strokes

D K Asked 10 years ago

Hello coach,

One of my friends told me that I am using "a slice" to defend.

I thought that this is "a chop".

So what is true?

Are these two strokes two different ones or how is it??

Thanks

DK

Hi DK,

They are just different terms for the same stroke.
