Hi,

My playing style is that of an attacker, so I just wanted to know whether it is good to add some defensive chop, either as a surprise tactic or to develop it as part of my game.

Thanks!

Hi Bala,

You can add some defensive play to your game.  I think it develops control of the ball as well.

In a match work out the tactics you want to utilise most of the time.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
