Hi, alois

I want to know about How to play or how to counter againts player that always chopping the ball ? i always make a mistake to counter that hit.

When playing against chop you need to be able to topspin the ball effectively to counteract the backspin.

Take a look at the PingSkills Lesson - Forehand Topspin against Backspin. This will help you out.

In a game situation if they are consistently chopping you can also push some balls to change the rhythm of the game.

First though master the topspin stroke against backspin.

Thanks for the great advice Alois. I mixed up my attacking loops with some pushes and it really confused my opponent.
