Hi Erfan,

The first thing is to keep the ball consistently on the table.  This will add pressure to the attacking player.

Then keep the ball low in general so that the attacker can't hit the ball too hard.

Try to move the other player around and keep the ball in an awkward position for them to make the attack easily.

Some defenders will also try to attack when they get the opportunity.

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.
