Hey Reece, so variation against better players is changing the placement of your shots and tempo,like tou mentioned one slow spin shot and then more power etc. I think playing a simple drill like forehand open up against backspin and then play forehand topspins but trying to focus on changing the speed and spin against a block, this will help it become more subconscious.
Also just having this focus in games to really add different placements and spin/speed variety to your game. So the opponents don’t get into too much of a rhythm and find you easy to predict.
