Hi,

 I hate playing against the players using Anti rubber. Sometimes when I try to hit, the ball flies out the table and sometimes it hits the net.

Please give some simple tips to play against such players.

Hi Abhinav,

The best tip for playing against anti spin rubber is to get as much hitting against it as you can.

The anti spin rubber will reverse the spin on the ball.  If you put backspin on the ball it will come back with topspin and vice versa.

A simple way of playing it is to hit one topspin and then one backspin, keep alternating strokes.

Just keep an open mind and you will soon find some improvement in playing the rubber.
