Hi Alois

I have impoevd my Backspin serve , thanks to you..but now i have a new problem.

Another opponent is very strong on backhand and my backhand is not..now. as a result of which he returns all my serves on my backhand and then I return back, by reflex to his backhand and he just then smashes it.

What should i do?

Hi Rakeshs,

Start to vary the positioning, speed and spin of your serve so that he can't control where he is returning the ball so easily. Even serving a few long fast serves to the forehand may work.

Then work unmaking a forehand on the next ball. If you can change the pattern of the rally the game can change quickly.

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.
