Training
Saatvik Shukla Asked 7 years ago
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 Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.

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
