Strokes
Earl Joseph Asked 11 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.
