Playing a close-table chopper
Strategy
Viet Dang Xuan Asked 12 years ago
Hi PingSkills, Today I met a guy who defends really well. He can almost chop every shots of mine in a close-to-table position. Can you give me a good tactic against this type of player?

Hi Viet,
These sort of players rely on your speed. Slow the ball down until you are ready to make a wining shot. Also you can pushy he ball to their backhand side if they are not able to attack. Then pick the ball that you want to attack.
Often a good place to attack them is to their middle, under their armpit. Because they are close to the table it will be difficult for them to defend.
