Strategy
Hi coach can you show me how to return an aggressive backhand spin.
Hi Sathya,
If it is a topspin use a block shot. Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Block. However one thing you also need to consider is trying to stop them from having the opportunity to make the aggressive backhand. You can do this by keeping the ball shorter on the table and also just avoiding the hitting zone. Try to play the ball wider or more into their crossover or even place more balls to the forehand side.
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.
