Rahul Ramesh Asked 14 years ago
Hi Jeff,
Is the chop used for topspin or smash or for anything?

Hi Rahul,
The chop is a stroke that produces backspin. It is a defensive shot that is usually played against your opponents topspin attack.
The push is a similar stroke but the push is played when you opponent also plays a backspin stroke.

The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.
