Since topspin is the opposite of backspin. Is it a defensive strategy?
Hi Easter,
Usually when you play a topspin it is an attacking stroke. We tend to regard backspin strokes as defensive and topspin strokes as attacking.
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.
