Avoiding your opponent making heavy chop return
Strategy
Haseeb Ansar Asked 9 years ago
How can I avoid someone from making heavy chops to my serves because its difficult for me to make third or fourth ball attack on heavy chops or how can i neutralize that much backspin so that i can attack the next ball coming just to start the rally. Any tips to beat an opponent not allowing you to make attack the ball?

Hi Haseeb,
One thing you can try is serve short with no spin. This often makes it more difficult for your opponent to generate as much backspin.
The other thing you can do is serve short with some topspin which can force them to flick or block the ball back.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
