penholder with problem receiving serves

I ve been playing with a 2000-ish Japanese guy, who play J-penhold. Everytime I do top-spin serve, he returns it with a long traditional bh push, maybe with a little sidespin push, to the far side of my fh, and sometimes it does put me in trouble. I dont know if that works for u, just a reference.

thanks for the advices

First of all, I'm a penholder so unless i use rpb, i can't loop with my backhand

if it is topspin long and high to my back hand, then, i can try to use the rpb but when it is topspin and short or low, i'm forced to do a push which makes the ball fly high for my opponent to smash or attack.

here are my 4 solutions in order from best to worse. All three work.

Just block it with the traditional bh block but close the angle a little bit. relax the thumb and push it forward while blocking it. 

Personally I find it best to loop it back with rpb using lot of wrist and the arm; one may miss initially but it's a good way to dial in your rpb. Also, a good opportunity to practice returning shots by using different racket angles and motions to create side spin returns.

What if he happens to be a klassischez penholder ?

hmmm,for me I just using bh push and place the ball at the backhand oppenent

Thanks jasons and everyone else.  I think jasonz's suggestion sound good for me to try, I just have to play more and try those shots until I can actually get it.

I am a c pen holder... for me try using Rpb..... and hit the ball at 1 oclock angle...more arm and wrist... do a multi ball for this... and I asure you it will work

What you mean?

I am learning rpb now, I can hit pretty well during pratice but during game, I always forget to move and can't grasp the position of the ball due to its top or side spin and cause me to miss those shots often
