I am the defensive player but I want to make some more back spin.

Also I want to know about what I need to do to be better defensive player.

Hi Jang,

To get more backspin on your chop, tilt your bat back so it is almost flat to the ground.

Becoming a better defensive player will depend on your ability to retrieve the ball back onto the table.  Practicing a consistent chop will help with this.  Then it is a matter of getting subtle variations of spin to force your opponent into errors.
