I was wondering how to play against a blocker because yesterday I was on a tournament and I played against this type of player.(However I beat him).  Thanks

Hi Adrian,

Well done on the result.

One of the keys to playing a good blocker is variation.  If you play the same type of ball it is easy for them to out position you.

We have a lesson in our Match Strategy section on this topic of Playing A Blocker.

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.
