Chop or block

Strokes

Earl Joseph Asked 12 years ago

Sir, when my opp. attacks, it feels very comfortable to chop rather than blocking. but, my chops misses as i am not a defender. i am an attacker. why does chopping feel comfortable? But, blocking is great.

Hi Earl,

You may be a naturally defensive player. You can persevere with it and see if you can develop your chopping.

Or work on your block stroke by staying close to the table.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

In training, set yourself the task of topspinning every long ball. With a change in mindset you will change your positioning.
