Hi Ricardo,

It is probably a technique problem.  You should probably start with a 1.5mm sponge under the rubber to give you a bit more control.

Work especially on your defensive stroke.  It will improve with some practice.

Forehand Chop

The forehand chop is a defensive stroke played away from the table. It is mainly used by defenders but can also be incorporated into an attackers game when forced away from the table.
