The backspin technique or what we usually call the chop in table tennis looks easy to do and indeed almost every player is capable of doing it. But to produce good quality backspin/chop shots, a player needs regular and continuous practice.
Chop is synonymous with stuffed balls, right?
Players who can chop techniques by producing full and heavy balls can be categorized as having good chop quality. However, if it is done monotonously, it will certainly make it easier for your opponent to return it.
Can the chop produce an empty ball? The answer is, of course you can.
Chop strokes to produce an empty or filled ball, the difference lies only in the point of imposition of the ball on the cross section of the bat and or the frictional force of the bat against the ball itself. If a player can combine empty chops and filled chops in a match, opposing players must be more careful in reading the ball's spin.
A spinner, of course, will be happy with the filled chop balls, they just have to hit them with strong friction.
However, in contrast to smash players/shooters, they have to outsmart a strategy to smash full and flat balls, including by opening the racket more when hitting. If the arrival of the ball is empty, this player can dominate the match rampant.
To make a heavy chop/backspin shot, we have to rub more against the bat at the bottom of the ball, and have a high bat speed when it comes into contact with the ball. The imposition of the ball is located at the point of the front section of the bet, so that the ball can roll across the surface of the cross section of the bet and produce good quality backspin.
If the ball's imposition point is on the back of the bat section, then it is certain that it will produce an empty ball, because there is no cross section for the ball to roll.
Players who are already able to chop by placing the ball at these points, means that they are already able to make empty or filled chops. To master it, a player must continue to practice and explore it.
In addition to these techniques, to produce quality filled chop balls is also greatly influenced by the type of rubber we use. Usually rubber with a tacky/sticky character will produce more rotation when chopping.
