BLOCK BACK: The Forehand Chip Return

When you’re facing a fast and hard-to-read first serve, it’s nearly impossible to have enough time to take a full swing at the return. Try using the chip return to block the ball back using your opponent’s power. The chip return is very much like an open stance volley in regards to grip and swing length.
