Counter attacking a chopper
Strategy
Anand Kumar Asked 11 years ago
I have one opponent who chops long and chops deep with his backhand. It is his stock way of returning almost anything. I hate getting drawn into a reciprocal chopping game but invariably end up doing so.
What all are my options to win the point as soon as possible ? What techniques should I focus on mastering that can take him by surprise?
Thanks in advance,coach!

Hi Anand,
The best tactic is 3rd ball attack where you set up the attack with your serve. Once you start pushing it becomes more difficult to transition into an attacking rally.
In our Master Classes we also have a lesson there for our Premium members on Third Ball Tips.
