Hi Morgen,
Firstly think about watching the ball all the way through the rally. This will help you to keep your eyes open when you are receiving a smash. Also move back away from the table to give yourself more time to react.
Take a look at the lesson on I Can't Return That Smash! this will also help.

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.
