How to beat players who smash well
Don’t give them easy high balls. Keep pushes low and heavy. Use heavy spin instead of speed and vary the pace. Place the ball wide to the forehand, wide to the backhand, or at the elbow to force mistakes. Changing spin, speed, and placement will break their rhythm.

How to loop heavy backspin with forehand
Lower your body and start the racket below the ball. Brush upward and forward to lift the backspin. Use your legs and waist for power, not just the arm. Contact the back of the ball with a thin brushing motion to create spin. Practice by looping after a long push, focusing on spin rather than power.

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.
