Strokes
Hi coach,
I am left handed and i want to learn how to be a chopper. My opponents are all right handed and it is quite hard for me to chop their smashes.
Thanks
Hi Shaun,
Being a left hander won't effect if you want to be a chopper.
First work on the basic Forehand Chop and Backhand Chop strokes.
Learning to chop smashes will come with good technique. When the ball is coming faster you can make your stroke more vertical.
The correct table tennis stance provides you with the foundation for power and movement. By keeping your feet wide apart and your knees bent you set yourself up for success. We also discuss where you should position yourself relative to the table.
