Chop or lob?

Strategy

Erik Erik Eisner Asked 7 years ago

Hey it's Eric. I'm the type of player that doesn't like to stand too close to the table unless I have to because a lot of my opponents try to smash or pass me. My question is should I use a slice to defend the smash, or is the lob towards the back of the table the best option? I really want to master the chop because it tends to stay low.

Hi Eric,

I think the chop is a better option than the lob as it makes it more difficult for your opponent to play a strong shot. If you can master a low chop with good spin you can keep your opponent on the defence as well.
