Match Tactics against Defenders (choppers) - eBaTT Tutorial with Alice Chang

Match strategy against defensive players,
Often players struggle against a good defender because it's not a common game and they often make you play many balls on the table. Modern-day table tennis is; serves, receive and attack with the aim of winning the point quickly and early. Where a defender will drag out points and look to ware his/her opponent down and force errors with spin variations.
Tip 1
Long pimples many defensive players use long pimples because it allows them to control fast shots and use the spin produced by the opponent against them. Long pimples often are frictionless and spin is rarely produced from them. But there are many different types of long pimples and some can produce spin. Top defensive players generate many variations of spin speed and stroke play to confuse their opponent. The best way to fully grasp how long pimples work, is by playing against them and even using it yourself to have a good base of knowledge. in time you will enable yourself to handle the spins and deception caused by long pimples.
Tip 2
Pushing, it's not a great idea to only push against a defensive player, because this is their strength and more often than not, they will out push you. Therefore look to vary your strokes and mix attacking play with some pushes and bring your opponent in and out and side to side.
Tip 3
go to the crossover when they are away from the table because it's hard for a defender to produce a quality chop from the body. The stroke of a good chop is a long movement and if they are unable to fully execute a full-length stroke, then the quality is automatically reduced.

Beautiful girl with beautiful technic...thank u for showing how I get my headache from playing these choppers

[@adamdurrani5789]

Best table tennis videos🔥🔥

[@zazenforever4940]

I completely agree with the post below. Eli- I would hope that the next video you make will be titled, " Match tactics- How a defender can defeat an attacker". Why is it there is so little training for defenders? Thousands of videos of playing as an attacker, minimal about playing as a defender. With the lack of training available , its amazing defenders do as well as they do. So much so, that you need to make a video on how to play against them! Can you imagine how good defenders would be if they actually had as much training as attacking players do? Where is the video for defenders, Eli?

[@zazenforever4940]

@@ebatt8803 Thanks, Eli. Defenders are a very underserved portion of the table tennis world. Im not sure why that is. Hou Yingchao won the China National tournament this year, and hes a defender. So, it works.

[@24ghosh24]

what a great sportsman, she is helping others to beat her..but anyways these things need lot of practice. I m a chopper myself and unless the topspin is really high quality followed by a very small drop, i usually handle the opponents quite well.also another strategy is push push push n suddenly attack.but it also depends on the quality of the chopper. a chopper with a good fh attack is a pain.

[@ebatt8803]

Love it 😍🏓

[@zitabayr2641]

Thank You, this is my one of the biggest fear , very confusing. Sometimes I can deal with that for a while, but game is lost.😪

[@YourWellBeing02]

BUT, also keep in mind, the sponge thickness plays a huge part in the type of balls that come back.

[@hopfen33]

Very good Tutorial ! 👍

[@frankaylwardjr4986]

How do you know when to position yourself further and closer to the table? Obviously, if you opponent rears back to send it to the moon back up, but sometimes it’s too late by then.

Question. I am still not clear how does she creates backspin with long pimples, what is her technique

[@djhumantorch]

Should have asked her that. I am long pips player, but I never push underspin with pips. It is my opportunity to attack. But, this variation could be useful, just, I don't know how to do it

[@bgmaster8557]

@@djhumantorch not that thin contact and pretty fast look at her angle it is a bit more open to drag the ball with back spin like normal rubber but a lot faster stroke to be able to create it

[@djhumantorch]

@@bgmaster8557 Good tip. I get what you are saying. It is a little hard for me, because, whenever I try, the ball goes up. Not a thin contact, do you mean like, prolonging the contact with the ball, try quick brushing motion

Amazing

[@dzas1987]

Hey, and what about blocking? This good, old weapon is in the aresanal of any defensive player, especially a top one. So if you serve into her crossover, the most natural return, to my understanding, should be not a push, not a chop, but a block! That's what I would do. That's what I instinctively do if my oponent serves or shoots to my crossover. That's what I could do all day long. That's what Deng Yaping would do... over and over again. Don''t serve to her crossover 🙂

Also remember most modern defenders are looking for attacking opportunities, not just a random loose high ball.

[@markfreeman8139]

Great content. Personally, I really struggle against non inverted rubbers. Similar tips against anti-spin and short pimples would be much appreciated.

[@juancamilomartinezplazas4941]

I needed this lol I was suffering with a defender player today!

[@jeanbalthazar8014]

First time someone explains (and demonstrates) that you can generate backspin from a backspin ball with long pimples. I always thought all you can do with long pimples is increase or reduce the existing incoming spin a bit. That might explain why I got totally bamboozled by a minority of the pimple players I encountered (not to say that I won all the others, but at least I was understanding what was happening). And good tip regarding the increased weakness at the crossover point. Thanks!

[@wellbeingsupport]

Grippy long pips with sponge can create quite a lot spin on its own (similar like short pips).

[@QuocTran-od7tj]

Sooooo Great, could you do a video for short pimples!

[@inspectz3172]

[@bikenthapa6753]

Amazing instructional video. I used similar kind of drawing (the one in the paper) to explain the mechanics of the long pimple rubber with comparisons to the inverted rubber's diagram. Super nice video.

Great video ! Thanks ! Any suggestion of choppers’ equipment, blade , rubber …

[@wellbeingsupport]

Choosing equipment for chopping is more complicated than you probably imagine. But for start, I would recommend you def/all blade with cheap Chinese long pips without or with thin sponge up to 0.8mm (for your BH). FH semi tacky cheap Chinese rubber 1.5-2.0mm sponge.
