Hi, coach how are you? I have been on the tournament and i played against some blocker, he pushes so hard and (im offensive player) i try to loop that but i loop it with  rotation,not strength. When i do that he just slap ball and win point, what to do? Thanks.

Hi,

One thing you can think about is that you don't need to attack when the ball is heavy or fast.  If he is just blocking then you can wait till you get a better opportunity to play a stronger stroke.

The other thing to think about is the positioning of your first attack.  Think about playing it to a more difficult position for him.  If he slaps the ball better with his forehand then play to the backhand.  Also think about playing to his middle are to cramp him up.

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.
