Strokes

I have been watching Seoul player Joo Se Hyuk. I think he's being recognized as one of the best chop players in the world.

How can I improve the chopping techniques ?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Alex,

Joo Se Hyuk is one of my favourite players to watch.  I love his technique.

We have some lessons on the chop strokes that you will be able to watch and learn from.  Take a look at Forehand Chop and Backhand Chop in our Strokes and Techniques section of our Lessons page.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
