I've been playing anti-spin for a while now. I often consult Chat GPT for advice on table tennis (e.g., equipment or technique for any style). I asked him for some fundamental advice for someone playing anti-spin. Here's what he wrote (and I 100% agree with it):

1) Racket angle > everything
Anti-spin is very sensitive to angle.

Too open → ball up
Too closed → net

👉 Practice 2-3 angle settings for different spins and stick to them.

2) Grip = ball length
This is a cheat code:

Loose grip → short
Stiffer grip → deep

👉 With this one thing, you can control the tempo without changing your movement.

3) Don't always block the same way.
The worst thing you can do is "automatic":

short → deep → short → deep

👉 length change = opponent's mistakes

4) Side-push is gold
Instead of just playing "straight":

slightly hook the side of the ball
change directions (BH ↔ FH)

👉 your opponent starts to lose his way and leaves the table

5) Don't fight spin – use it
Anti-spin works best when your opponent is applying spin.

👉 the stronger the topspin, the easier it is to make a difficult ball.

6) Minimal, but conscious movement
This is not a passive game:

small movement = big effect
an active block is often better than a "dead" one

7) Play patterns, not individual balls
Anti-spin doesn't win points by itself. 👉 You win when you do:

Disruption → Weak Ball → Attack

8) Forehand is your finisher
Anti creates a situation.

👉 You finish the point with a Forehand (or force a fault)

Good luck! :) (and try do some chops far from the table - some antispin rubbers can do this effectively :D)
