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.

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
