  1. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    This is insanely informative and a pleasure to read, thank you fr 🙏 Super strategic, and you can tell every action has a reason. I've already started implementing your tips and will definitely come back to it to “reverse-engineer” how to deal with a player like you as a chopper (I have a lot of...
  2. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    Thanks a lot man, this is seriously useful. What you describe matches exactly what I feel in matches: as soon as opponents understand LP, they treat it like a free hit, especially with long fast flat serves to my LP backhand (and even short dead serves). Your example is pertty much a real game...
  3. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    Sheeesh, those inside out shots are so badass tbh and his chops are nice and a lot more compact than mine, different technique but similar results.

    Dude, I'm flabbergasted by this video...this guy is insane.

The only thing we have in common is our height and ability and willingness to run...

I play mostly mid–far distance with full-stroke chops, lots of movement, and I like being...
  6. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions, really appreciate it 🙏 I’m definitely looking at a more defensive blade (Koji Special looks tempting, and I’ll check out the Defplay / Nittaku Endless / Yinhe options too). On FH, I’m pretty convinced to go back to a Chinese rubber H3N 38/39 (orange) is high on...
  7. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    Hi everyone, I’m new on TTD, joined recently because it seems like a solid place to learn. I’m a TT beginner (about 3 months, I'm 30) but I train in a pretty serious club in France (they’ve got a Pro B team and lots of strong players). I’ve played basketball, squash and tennis competitively...
