What to do after a short return
Strategy
Tang Jeremy Asked 12 years ago
I'm really confused when I do a short return. I don't know what to do for my next shot. When I return a short heavy backspin, if he push me long I do a topspin against backspin. If the serve have topspin, I will do a forehand loop. But sometimes it doesn't work.
Please Help!

Hi Tang,
If they put the ball back short move back in and play another short ball or the other options you have are to push the ball long or flick the ball.
If you are moving back in you need to get your right leg right under the table and close to the bounce of the ball.

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.
