Tips on returning pendulum side + under spin service on doubles match

[NewGuyHere]

Both server and receiver is right handed.

For top pendulum I return with forehand drive.

But I struggle against under spin pendulum.

I can return with backhand strawberry but it's very bad quality return.

Is FH push more natural against pendulum under spin?

Most basic answer: If the serve is long then you loop it, if the serve short you can push it.

If you're not comfortable looping longer serves every time, I think it's best to go for a quality push. Take it before the peak of the bounce and deliberately put some backspin on it. A deep push with enough backspin makes it very difficult for them to play a winner.

If they play a safe opener, your partner can look to counter it. If they don't loop and instead chop or push it, your partner can likely play a strong opener.
