How to beat a Defensive Chopper
Strategy
Brady B Asked 12 years ago
Pingskills, I'm having trouble against a Defensive Chopper. He counters my smashes with a backspin lob and it ends me after three-four smashes. How can I beat him?

Hi Brady,
Try to change the pace. Rather than trying to hit through him, try to push a few balls and then attack when you get a good opportunity. If you keep hitting hard he can stay back anf keep returning the ball.

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.
