Strategy
Hi Alois
I know that my opponent's weaker side is the backhand side. However, my weaker side is also the backhand side. Should I still play majority of the balls to my opponent's backhand side?
Hi Yap,
You need to see whether your backhand is better than his. If it is then you should play to the backhand side more. If not, then you need to find a better option.
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.

Oh, his backhand is better than mine. And his forehand is also better than mine. So I should try to hit to his middle?
Yes, use variation of placement.
