Forcing a weak shot against Defenders

Strategy

Ivandri Lowell Asked 14 years ago

Hi Coaches, I've got something to ask,how to force defenders to play a weak push/chop when they only use normal rubber and not long pimples so I can lift it easily?

Hi Ivandri,

Try to play a strong first attacking ball. You can set this up with your serve or by pushing the ball to difficult positions for them.

Keep them close to the table with your serve and return as well. Wen they are back from the table they can get into their rhythm and start to vary the spin on their chops.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper

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.
