Should I adjust my serving strategy based on my opponent's style or our relative skill levels? When should I serve forehand vs. backhand?

Hi Haris,

In general try to use the serve you like the most.  You need to change only if your opponent is getting on top of you in the rallies when you are using it.

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.
