Hi John,
The idea is that they hit the ball very flat and find it difficult to generate topspin on the ball.
It is good to play with backspin and a lot of topspin against it. It is difficult for a hard bat player to lift the backspin and it is also difficult for them to control the heavy topspin unless they chop it.
Because they can't topspin you can also take your time to attack. Be patient.
We will cover this in one of our lessons in our Match Strategy lessons which will be starting soon.

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.
