Hi Harsa,

The most effective shot against a chopper is the topspin.

Take a look at the tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. You then need to play a variation of topspins and pushes.

For our Premium members we have a tutorial on Playing A Defensive Chopper in our "Playing Against" Series.

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.
