Hi Alois,

I am an offensive player who has a problem with dealing with sidespin lobs, so could you give me some advice to deal with this type of lob? And best still, can you answer with a video reply?

Hi Linus,

I think the best thing is to wait for the ball to spin and then make a direct smash onto the table.  Don't rush your stroke.  You will have plenty of time.  You then need to move your feet into position to make the stroke.

When playing against a chopper, it is important to use the drop shot to break up your opponents rhythym. By forcing them to come close to the table, your next offensive storke will be more effective.
