I have a double knee replacement and cannot move quickly.  When playing doubles where should I move after hitting the ball?

Hi Al,

I would just take one step back or one step to the side depending on which side you are on.  The main thing is to not step too far away from the middle of the table so that you can get back as quickly as possible.

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.
