If anyone hit a fast counter shot or any other shot I can't defend it. If I touch the ball it goes out of the table.

Hi Vinayak,

If they play a fast shot the main thing is to have a relaxed hand and control the ball on the table with a                    Block if you can.

However, take a look at this tutorial in our Basic Tactics section on I Can't Return That Smash!.

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.
