Short underspin to hopefully receive the same for opportunity to loop.
Overall strategy
The best defense is to attack first.

Picture my game above my current level.  Never be afraid.
Strategy against lower rated players
Find a weakness and exploit it.
Commentary:
Pablo was a welcome addition to our club.  Players at every level are welcome, but
when a 2000+ player walks in the door,  it serves to strengthen our upper level of
competition at practice and tournaments. When a player like Pablo walks in,  everyone
benefits. He is involved in our coaching program,  is generous  with his practice time
with players of all levels,  supports all our activities, plays hard & is always in a good mood.                                                                                                                                       jp
