Hey guys,

I have a very spinny backspin serve, to the degree that when my opponent manages to push it back, I have a very hard time attacking the ball at all. Should I work on my flicks and more vertical loops, or should i just reduce the amount of spin I put on my serve to make it easier to attack?

Hi Dakota,

Work on your topspin against backspin.  This is an important stroke.

You can also change up the serve and put less spin sometimes and get slightly different returns as well.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper

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.
