Generating maximum underspin in chop.

I was the first guy who played defensive chopping in my club. Any new attacking player has hard time against me, but slowly they start returning my chops because they get used to it. Recently I noticed, my chopping is not generating as much spin like Joo Se Hyuk does, and that may be the reason, they can smash my chops.

If you are a chopper, what is the angle to the ball at the point of contact. I may be wrong, but I noticed Joo has a 45 degree point of contact with the ball, and he brushes the paddle with the ball from 45 to flat 0 degree before releasing, and has a complete follow through.

What do you guys think about generating maximum spin while chopping?

I agree that my shots are sometimes high, this especially happens against an anti-spin player.

Often in trying to push low defenders play their supposed long backspin short, which is fatal. In chopping once the topspinner is in please diferentiate your stroke: when taking the ball rising- steep chop please. International coaches recommend mastering this one where the the attackers time is reduced. when taking the at peak - less steep when taking ball near the floor nearly horizontal then get feel for all in between. Precisely what yr stroke angle will be will depend on your height I dont agree that you have to use Long pimples or anti, but you might consider sp on one side and a tacky smooth rubber. But the main thing is to get a good stroke using whole body in stroke. Using an oversize or midsize racket is also great for defenders as it adds to stability of stroke.

what do you mean?

when taking the at peak - less steep
when taking ball near the floor nearly horizontal
then get feel for all in between.

less steep?? what is that,   near the floor horizontal i know, your bat almost horizaontal right if the bal is droppingz
