Hi Ameer,

The main thing with using Anti-spin is to give your opponent a different ball to play.  You can also provide variation between the forehand and backhand strokes, giving them a fast ball on the forehand and a slow ball on the backhand.

It is also good for returning serves if you are unsure of the spin. If you can you should think about 'twiddling' changing to use the rubber on the backhand sometimes as well.  This will catch your opponent off guard and again provide variation of speed and spin.

We are abut to start on our Match Strategy Course as part of our Premium Membership.  Using and playing against Anti-spin will be two topics we will cover. 

Good luck with your game.  Let us know how you are progressing.
