Compensation for Lack of Space

Strategy

I am a player that likes to play forehands away from the table. I usually win against my opponents because of my spinny topspins. If I was required to play in... let's say a garage, where there isn't enough space to play a decent topspin away from the table, what should I do? Should I start being a blocker or hitter just in case?

Hi Romeo,

Keep developing you game away from the table.  The better you get the more you will play in areas with more space.

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.
