So this is kinda a common situation I face now (due to facing off against too many twiddling pips penholders).
I do an opening loop and it gets spin reversed (with my own spin) using the pips to form a kinda disgusting return that has quite a bit of underspin and sometimes side underspin and sometimes no spin.
If I continue looping they can continue doing this disgusting block. Sometimes I can overcome them with sheer power, but only at the expense of consistency. If I push I'm pretty much toast (unless it's a short ball which I can add some serious angles and speed with the push) because the penhold FH loopkill is not that easy to defend against.
I can reduce their consistency a lot by varying this opening loop, but eventually I still need to deal with this chopblock (with pips it can be incredibly consistent!).
I know @Takkyu_wa_inochi recommended using no spin lifting loops to deal with this which I will try as well.
Just curious what other strategies can be employed?
