Chopper Or Looper

Hi PingSkills

I started playing table tennis about one year ago, and i have always played with two inverted rubbers with an offensive blade. My problem is that i play my backand well when i am close to the table, but with the forehand i feel better when i am at mid distance. About one week ago, i started practing with long pips backhand chop, and i felt very well with this style of playing. Should i change from an offensive style that i practied about one year to a modern defensive style?

Hi Guglielmo,

I think it is worth trying the Modern defensive style.  It sounds like you have moved not that mode quite naturally.

You can always change back to attacking on both sides if you find it doesn't work out.

Let us know how you progress.
