Hi, I've just started using anti spin rubber on my backhand side. Do you have any recommendations using anti spin rubber?

Hi Carmine,

Firstly stay close to the table.

You can both push and hit with it.  For the hit, make sure your racket angle is very open and hit the ball quite flat and forward.

Don’t try to do too much with it.  Then also make sure that you are utilising your forehand attack when you get the opportunity.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. 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.
