Backhand counter hit with antispin
Strategy
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago
hi alois and jeff,
i played against a player who counterhits well with antispin... i can never receive her punches. how do i receive them?
And, how to actually attack a return (push of backspin or block)? my coach MAULS players with antispin at under 3 and the like... is there a trick to it??
thanks!!!

Hi Shripathi,
When a player with anti spin blocks the ball you need to lift the next ball because it will come through with some backspin. The anti spin is reversing the topspin on the ball. It acts very much like long pimples.
If you serve with backspin and they push it back, it will have a little topspin on the ball. This is the best ball to attack on. It is what you should be looking for.
