I've played once with a chop player and i had problems with getting his hits . and i "overlooped" every ball. what should i do??

Hi Kamil,

Try using a little more topspin on the ball. This will bring the ball down quicker and therefore land on the table.

Take a look at this blog on Playing against Defenders. This will give you a few tips that will help next time you play against a chopper.

i believe choppers when they play against loopers, they mix up their chops between heavy backspin, and very light to no backspin, even dead balls, when we try to loop these light/no spin chops that is where we go past the table every time. i think adjusting your loop to a loop-drive and still brushing the ball lightly helps keep most balls on the table. my rule of thumb is loopdrive if you are not sure how much backspin is on it, and vertically slow-loop the ones which you can tell have heavy backspin by the flight of the ball.

what if the player have on one side a chop and on the other a normal rubber(bryce)??? he chops first ball and attacks other one

This does put a bit more pressure on you to play a good topspin. If yo are pushing then try to make sure you find his pimples side so that it is more difficult for him to attack.
