Hi Coach. 

I am playing table tennis since few years but now i have a problem. Whenever i play against pimples i am not able to continue the rally. When i hit a topspin my opponent chops it with pimples. Please help me with it.

Hi Shivam,

If it is long pimples the ball will probably be coming back to you with a bit of backspin.  You need to account for this in your next stroke bye either lifting it with topspin or pushing the ball back.

We have a tutorial on Help Against a Chopper with Long Pimples which may help you as well.
