Why chop on D

Strategy

Robert Wooldridge Asked 12 years ago

Just wondering why chopping is considered the best tactic for defensive?

Hi Robert,

THe chop keeps the ball low and because it has backspin, makes it a little harder for your opponent to attack effectively. A variation of strokes is good when you are defending, but the chop is the safest.

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.
