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.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
