Looping and Chopping
Strategy
Collin Hill Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois & Jeff,
I was wondering if it would be a good idea when looping/attacking to throw a low chop at my opponent? Kind of like a change up? Just wondering?
Thanks

Hi Collin,
I would keep attacking. Once you've developed a good attack, you can win the majority of points when you are attacking. If you throw in a chop you can let your opponent get back into the rally. Plus it could be a difficult transition to go from a loop to a chop.
I like your thinking though. It's great to explore options and try out different tactics.
