What type of backspin should I use against a very choppy serve? Should I push it or chop it back? What's the difference in terms of how it reacts off of my paddle?
Hi Rock,
The push and chop are just different versions of the same stroke. It is more about the angle of your bat. The more backspin that your opponent puts on the ball the more you need to face the hitting side of your bat towards the roof.
The angle of your bat will do most of the work for you. If you brush under the ball and make a forward stroke this will tend to put more spin on the return.
A chop serve is one that has backspin on it. When you are starting out, learning to put backspin on the serve will help you to improve your service level quickly. Now we show you how to make the chop serve faster as well.

Well deppend on how powerful is the spin. If I play in a serious game I would push and when I feel confident I would lift the ball. But on practice game I try to lift the ball. It depend as well on you game style. If play most deff you will push the ball, if you are and Off player you will lift.
