Hi,

What are effective serves against long pimple opponents? I found the regular backspin serves are very easy for them to attack because the rubber turns a backspin into top spin.

Hi Yang,

I fid the backspin serves are effective a lot of the time even though they an attack, they can't attack fast because of the speed of their rubber.

Perhaps also concentrate on keeping the serve lower so it doesn't give them as much height to work with.

You can also serve longer to them which gives you more time to see the attack coming and react to it.

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.
