Her backhand is anti, not her forehand, which is some sort of inverted. She uses a very thin, oversized blade.

Maybe dwruck can remember brand names since he played her recently.

This requires more investigation. Both Dwruck and Kagin have written that she plays anti on the forehand. Does anyone know her personally? It looks like she's a TT instructor at the Wood Dale Park District and former Ukrainian champion.

Both me and dwruck have played her; I've talked with her on the sidelines but don't know her personally. She has a very heavy Ukranian accent.

Maybe she twiddles or mixes it up? She was definitely using anti on her backhand when I played her anyways, without twiddling. Her forehand chops and pushes were very spinny while her backhand was generally mild to dead.

Anti forehand?
Thats rarity :D
Should've entered the unique setup thread :)

I don't know about Sir Abdul's statement but her strokes are very deceptive, as a classical defender should be :up:

Well, that was the general consensus of our group, with losing comments like, "Boy, she sure was tricky with that anti on her backhand."

I know someone who will be at the same tournament as her this December, so I'll ask him to take a peek at her paddle if he feels comfortable enough to approach and ask her about it, or if he plays her.

Correct! BTY Super Anti on forehand and some BTY inverted (I can’t remember) on bh. I practiced with her a few years ago.
