Hi,
How do I deal with backhand dominant player?
Hi Tri,
The main thing is to move them away from their backhand corner. You can start with a short serve or return to the forehand to get them away from their comfortable position.
These players may also have a weaker middle area if you go slightly to the forehand side of their body as they tend to be very square to the table or even have their right foot slightly forward.
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.
