Hi Raj,

Yes you should aim to smash the ball if it is up that high.  Ad an option you can let it drop and topspin it but at the higher level if you do that you will give your oppoenent too much time and won't be able to hit the ball as fast.

Practice your smashing.

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.
