Long pimple or anti spin offensive against chopper
Strategy
Xariuz Cruz Asked 11 years ago
Hi Pingskills!
In a match, if a offensive player is equipped with long pimple and anti spin, will it be an advantage to the player that he/she's opponent is a chopper?

Hi Xariuz,
Yes it is difficult to attack with anti spin and long pimples. An attacking player is better off to use a faster rubber and probably inverted pimples.
Against a chopper you can attack with these rubbers because you have more time and the backspin from the chopper will convert to topspin off the anti or long pimples.

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.
