Sir I'm a chopper and want to know some good exercises to increase my defending skills.

Hi Saatvik,
To warm up before training, do a lot of sides stepping and running. Move in and out away from the table and back to start with.

The first 3 balls in a rally are really important. This week we want you to concentrate once again on your third ball attack and work on varying your spin, speed and placement. Remember faster isn't always better. Tactically you need to be able to think about these 3 variables.

Should I practice chop with weights?
You don't need to use weights with your shadow swings. Just do it without weights. The weights work in a different way than the swing you are doing, because gravity is dragging your arm down. You can do the swings though.

Chops are vertical so gravity isn't as disturbing for the motion I would assume
