I can't recover for the next stroke when I play a stroke, especially flicks. I get paused at the end position. Please tell me how to recover for the next stroke. Do you have any drills to practice recovery?

Hi Kaustubh,

This is something that you can practice.  Follow the ball carefully and you will start to react naturally to the next ball.

When you start to learn a stroke you focus on the movements of the stroke and so you are thinking about getting to the finish position.  Once you become comfortable with the stroke you can start to focus on the rally in full and watching the ball.  This will help with your recovery.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper

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.
