I'm using TSP Curl P1R 1.0mm on my backhand, and I am doing very well chopping with it, until I play one person at my club. Every chop I seem to do, no matter what variations and lengths I do, he wallops it right by me out wide. Is there any way I can try and nullify his attacks with my backhand so that he just loops it? Even my low chops get smashed

Thank you,
Jackson

There is always "that guy" who plays well against a chopping game isn't there?!

Here are some things I try when I play someone similar:
1. If they do not attack as well on one side, I chop to their weaker wing.
2. If they play to one side then I chop wide to the other side-most players can't rip as hard if they have to move a long way to get to the ball
3. I try to change my game-I may even resort to a pushblocking game or even "rolling" with my LP- I have seen some players unable to handle that ball who can rip the snot out of a good chop.
4. I try to control the game with MY topspin FH
5. Last resort is to flip and attack w my inverted on my BH from off the table.

other strategies-get better serves/serve return

there are probably more things to try-lob, chop better (we can always get better) etc.
