Normally when your opponent pushes to you, they slice the ball underneath it to generate backspin and they try to keep it low.
But sometimes I play opponents who use a kind of "float push". Instead of slicing the ball, they literally just come up on the ball from under the ball. So the ball comes to your side higher than you are used to, and with no spin on it.
I miss a ton of these shots, especially on the backhand. If I use my normal loop motion, the ball will go long because there is no spin on it. But because the ball is higher than usual, it always feels awkward for me to deal with. I think people have discussed before about playing against "clean" hitters vs more junky and awkward hitters. But what would be the way to deal with this situation?
