Hi,

Sounds like this opponent has a good counter attack.  Think about moving the ball around to different positions to stop this stroke.  See where he likes it from and then change the direction of your attack.  Sometimes this will make a big difference.

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.
