Hey coach,how can I defend backspin chops?

Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago

Hi Surja,

I think the best thing is to play a topspin stroke. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. If you can work on the stroke, you will be able to dominate the defensive player.

If you do want to remain defensive then you can Push the ball back as well.

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.
