Strategy
Your email caught my eye, and I wanted to clarify something. Would the logic still apply to doubles or do rallies tend to last longer in doubles?
Thank you for all you do
Hi RJ,
Rallies tend to be about the same length in doubles. The serve and return are still of equal importance.
The serve in particular is crucial as the receiver only have half the area to cover.
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.
