Part 6. Tactics against Choppers

6.1. Chopper's rubbers and their Spin

Measures described here are not a counterplan to continue rally. Here introduces the tactics to settle the game as soon as possible. It is a technique to make a game in your circumstances.
In general measures against choppers, most players take the strategy that changes the Cut-rally to the Drive-rally by giving the Hcork or Fcork. But I do not like this stragety to keep rally because it forces me to suit my correspondence to the opponent.

The spin kind of a chopper is determined by their swing position and rubber type. The position is the place where the chopper was forced to select his swing direction by the dirction to which you had put back. By your chosen dirction, he have to inevitably decide the swing either the forehand or backhand or the middle position. And the ball rubbing point and the spin direction will be decided.
In addition, the spin speed is determined by the type of rubber.
Here, we will think about a reasonable attack that corresponds to the level and types of the spin.

The basic tactics against the chopper, it is necessary to assemble from the two tactics with Part 2 "Basic Tactics by Spin Composition", and Part 4 "Tactics against Various Rubbers".
