Most of the matches I play are against amateurs who lack power. If I play defensively with chops and blocks my opponents will usually make errors. Is it better for me to play safe with this strategy or attack more?

Hi Will,

If your focus is to win the game then keep defending.  However if you are focusing more long term then try to make more attacking shots.

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.
