Hi Brian,Yes that’s right, it is fairly similar to long pips but less spin reversal and more of a float skidding ball back to you. If you are struggling with the variety and mix of shouts you get back then definitely focusing your attack to one side or the other will help. I think once you can focus your attacks to either side then once you get a weak ball trying to play faster into their body is a good tactic as they have to adjust and get into position very quickly. As you said the long term solution is to be comfortable even when they are twiddling and giving you a mixture but for the time being focusing attacks into the anti loop means they are limited and also won’t be able to attack you with any great speed or danger. Let us know if you have nay other questions on this.
Tom 🙂
