Anti rubbers

Andy Unknown Asked 15 years ago

I having service return difficulties on my backhand with certain players that have heavy spin serves. Im currently using sriver fx or sriver el. Would it be worthwhile having an anti on my backhand when playing these players ? A horses for courses tactic.

Hi Andy,

Rather than thinking about changing rubber, if you can, get a chance to play against more players so that you can understand better the effect of the spin.

By going straight to Anti spin you are not letting yourself learn the effects of spin which later may be detrimental to your game.

So the simple answer is get more practice against good serves if you possibly can.
