I'm playing again after taking a 3/4 month hiatus from TT....right now I'm not playing very well. (Timing is off....etc.)
The upside is that I'm looking at my game with fresh eyes....and although I love moving around the court....I'm questioning whether chopping is the right style of play for me.....(but I digress)
It seems like my chops are too slow....but more frustrating is the fact that I can't keep them down. It's probably not a recent problem....I think it's been a problem all along but I adapted somehow. Now I'm being eaten alive.
What are a few "keys" to keeping chops low(er?)
Chop throw like loop throw is mostly a matter of technique, specifically swing speed and angle of attack. It sounds like you're not generating enough contact speed to so you need to chop at more downward angle (or swing faster, which is harder without requisite skill).
