When better to use chop block?
Hi Erfan,
If you have some time to adjust to this stroke then it can be effective. It can be useful if your opponent is very good at the fast game or doesn't adjust well to changes in pace.
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.
