Against a very low ball

Strategy

Nabid Ahmed Asked 9 years ago

What do you do if someone repeatedly hits the ball very low just on the brink of the net? Do you attack, defend?

Hi Nabid,

If the ball is only bouncing once on your side then you can use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke. If it is bouncing more than once then play a Backhand Push or Forehand Push stroke.

It is important to be patient when they are able to keep the ball low. Don't try to hit the ball too hard.

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.
