Hi Anirudh,

The main thing is to get used to the effect of the anti spin rubber.  One you understand that the rubber will change the spin on the ball, then it becomes a lot easier.  If you play a topspin to it, the ball will come back with backspin and vice versa.

A simple strategy is to push the ball to the anti spin and then hit the next ball as it will come back with topspin.

For our Premium members we have a lesson on Playing Against Antispin.
