Dear Alois,
Could you please explain to me the difference between an attacking chopper and a defensive chopper?
Regards,
Gerard
Hi Gerard,
The attacking chopper will tend to take advantage of balls that they can attack on their forehand side. It makes the attacker a little more wary with lifting the backspin balls. The attacking chopper is looking to attack on the forehand especially.
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.
