How to do the perfect chop drop shot
Strokes
Joey Butt Asked 7 years ago
Hi guys!
Just signed up here after seeing your great YouTube videos.
Just wanted to know if you have any tips or a video on how to do an effective backhand or forehand chop drop shot especially against opposition that like to stand back and play deep low balls. I like to play attack so i tend to do similar and get into a counter loop rally but always come off 2nd best... time to learn something new!
Ive tried already but because the balls i'm returning are so low it makes it hard to keep the chop low when returning, they sit up nice and get smashed back at me. This is where i struggle. Should i be waiting for the deep ball to drop off the end of the table before playing it or should i play it early? so many questions but ill see what you think.
Thanks for any help. Joey
