Forearm and wrist movement with long pimpled chop
Strokes
Edison Leung Asked 12 years ago
Hi coach,
I had a question reading long pimple chopping. I noticed that when chopping with long pimples, I can generate more reversal of the spin when I bend the pips as I'm chopping. I tried to maximize this by flicking my wrist more as I'm chopping. However, I noticed that this tends to pop the ball up more which makes it easier to smash. Is the key to making the chop lower thru moving the forearm more vertical while snapping the wrist or more horizontal?
Thanks for your help! You guys are awesome.

Hi Edison,
To get the ball lower you need to make the stroke more vertical. You can still snap the wrist through to get more effect.
The faster the ball hits the pimple the more they will bend.

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.
