I was wondering what a attacking chopper, blocker, defensive chopper, hitting attacker and looping attacker are.

Hi Gav,
A defensive chopper is a chopper who only attacks very rarely.
An attacking defender is one that will take the opportunity to attack more often, especially on the forehand side usually.
A hitting attacker is one that mainly attacks.
A looping attacker is one that used more topspin to make the attacks.

A blocker - is the one that waits for opponent loops instead of starting attack himself. Then uses blocks instead of chops.
some others
A double wing looper - attaks with loops from both forehand and backhand
Attacker with material - uses other that normal rubbers (typically Long Pips) for attacking attack so that the game is typically over before you get used to the flight of the ball.
