Hi Jonathan,
Against flat hitters the best thing is to use a lot of spin. You can vary between backspin and slow and varied topspin shots. They tend to like the ball coming fast and flat to them but struggle against the heavier spin. They will struggle against the backspin because their topspin may not be as strong because they hit the ball flat.
We have a Match Strategy lesson on this in our Match Strategy Course.

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.
