Sir, when my opp. attacks, it feels very comfortable to chop rather than blocking. but, my chops misses as i am not a defender. i am an attacker. why does chopping feel comfortable? But, blocking is great.

Hi Earl,

You may be a naturally defensive player. You can persevere with it and see if you can develop your chopping.

Or work on your block stroke by staying close to the table.

In training, set yourself the task of topspinning every long ball. With a change in mindset you will change your positioning.
