I have trouble looping of chops... how do you turn a defensive shot into an opportunity?

Hi John,

This is a vital stroke in table tennis.

The first thing is to make sure you have your technique correct.  The stroke needs to be more of a vertical action to lift the ball over the net.  You also need to make sure you are brushing the ball on contact to get some topspin on it.

Take a look at the lesson on Forehand Loop Off Backspin.  This should answer a lot of your questions about the stroke.
