Hi Siddharth,

Try serving the ball short or closer to the net so that he doesn't get such a swing at it.  The other thing is to stay away from the backhand side by serving to his forehand or middle more. You should also try different types of serve to his backhand.  He may just like the ball swinging one way to his backhand and not the other.  Explore some options next time you play him.

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.
