well my criteria are not only about the effort . just because a ball is considered among some "easy" does not mean that a stroke fits everyone or that there is a general rule about it. many players with good feeling find it much easier to brush loop an underspin ball which is going with the spin than countering a no spin ball or a topspin ball. Its all a matter of perspective and situation that's all im saying.
So basically just because physics and math say "going with the spin is harder" (which from a science POV is true) does not mean that it is so cause science does not take into consideration the human factor. talent and personal preference, if everybody played the same way then the game would be extremely boring and unwatchable
Again, we are talking about the same ball. For the same level of spin, find anyone who considers looping a topspin ball harder than chopping a topspin ball or pushing a backspin ball harder than looping a backspin ball. That people prefer to loop backspin instead of topspin is about the spin they prefer to handle or practice more against and not about which stroke is easier vs the same incoming spin.
