So i was playing against someone and all they did was play defensive backspin and i use a lot of topspin but i know topspin does not go well against backspin what should i do instead?
Hi Bradey,
You should keep trying to topspin the ball. It is the most effective way to combat defensive players.
Take a look at the lesson on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. This is an important stroke to master.
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.
