Hi Mark,

You can counter basically any spin with any type of spin it is just a matter of making the correct stroke.

In general though you should try to play a topspin stroke against all spins to gain the attacking advantage.  That makes it simple doesn't it?

The only change is if the ball is short and you then need to make a backspin stroke to control the ball.

In our Course on Receiving Secrets we cover this with video as well.
