Hi Coach
What is a anti spin rubber? What are its advantages? Who uses them?

Hi Tushar,
Anti-spin rubber is a rubber that has no grip on it. Because it has no grip, it also doesn’t react with spin so it almost deadens the spin that comes to it.
They aren’t used much at all now. Most players that want to deaden the spin will use long pimples now because you can do more with them.

I mean which type of players uses the defensive offensive blocker or chopper?
Usually it is a defensive chopper that would use it.

Actually, anti spin rubber doesn't reverse the spin. It simply reverses the direction of the ball without effecting the spin and what is an under spin serve to your opponent will become an over spin ball when your opponent returns it to you. When I play against anti spin rubber I serve under spin knowing I'll get and over spin return which is easier to smash.
