Receiving

Hi Alois, just wanted to know if the backhand chop can be used to return a heavily loaded sidespin or topspin serve. I try doing that but the ball flies around. Please help

Hi Sujeet,
Yes you can use the chop. It is a matter of hitting the ball quite firmly to get your own spin happening on the ball. I you psh softly at the ball the spin that is on the serve will take the ball where your opponent wants it to go.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
