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.
