How can i improve my third ball attack when the opponent serves short rather than serving deep?

Hi HAseeb,

Then it is a 4th ball attack where you try to play the return of the serve short and force the server to hit the ball long to you and then you take the opportunity to make the attack off that ball.

The key is to be able to make a short return that is difficult for your opponent to keep short back to you.

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.
