Table Tennis/ Ping-Pong Basic Strokes - Backhand Chop Against Loop

This step by step explanation of the front view of a backhand chop vs topspin is a companion article to the Backhand Chop - Side View article, so I will focus on discussing those aspects relevant to the front view, rather than just repeating all the same information.

Points to look for:

• The player is in the middle of a backhand chop drill, and has started to move into position to return the ball.
• The right foot has been turned slightly to face forward towards the table, and the left foot is in the middle of stepping over to the player's left.
