Forehand Chop Spin Variation

Hi, Alois

First, my compliments for tutorial about moving when defending, it is really educational. It is the simple way, at least, to see how a defender should move to cover as much as possible. But, there is something I want to use to confuse my opponents: how can I vary the spin when chopping, whether it is forehand or backhand chop. You see, I have watched a lot of defenders, and I can't figure out how can you give more or less spin on the ball with the same movement. Can you help me. 

Best regards

Hi Sasha,

I am glad that you enjoyed the lesson on the footwork for choppers.

To get spin variation you need to vary the angle of your racket on contact with the ball.  If you brush more under the ball you will get more spin.  If you contact the ball flatter you will get less spin.
