hitter

Hello, My friend plays with an all+ blade with carbon ; V47 on FH ; short pips on BH. He hits on both side but he struggles to loop backspin on his forehand. I think he may be better off with a softer rubber on his forehand but not fully sure what rubber could be nice to also hit I was mainly...

How would you play against a hitter? This player at my club plays fairly ordinary but any ball to his forehand is hit full power with a sort of "lift smash". Being hit with full power, it's near impossible to return.
