Sir, I use mark v on f/h and sriver L o b/h. I am a beginner/intermediate player. I am a half attacker(not every ball lands on the table).

My opponent uses donic sones JP (not sure which model) on f/h and grass dtechs on b/h.He attcks to f/h fast, b/h chopper and plays equally to me. But, i fear him because he might succeed me.

So, what should be my tactics against him? Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Hi Earl,

We often refer to these types of players as Modern Choppers.  

You can push to his backhand side and then attack the next ball.  This is a good simple tactics to use against these types of players.

We have a lesson on this in our Match Strategy lessons.  Take a look at what is available on the Playing A Modern Chopper lesson.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
