Strategy
What should my strategy be against an attacking player? Attacking back or defense?
Hi Susan,
Think about what you do best first rather than your opponent.
If you are good at attacking you should try to do this. If you are a better defensive player then try to set up your points so that you can get into a defensive position.
In general you should try to stop your opponent from making the first attack or make it as difficult as possible to make the first attack. This doesn't matter whether they or you are a defensive or attacking player.
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.
