I am interested in how you handle backhand to backhand play when both players are LP OX?
thanx

If my LP play is more reliable, I will go to their BH. If not, I try to take BH away. Really depends on what they can do on FH too.

Usually it becomes clear early on whether they know how to play against OX

Expect to get a lot of no spin balls so do whatever you would normally do against no spin. Sideswipe technique gives you good stability and control against no spin. Can you twiddle and attack the no spin ball with your inverted rubber?

I can twiddle and attack (albeit very inconsistently) or run around and hit a forehand (putting myself out of position). The no spin ball on my LP side is absolute kryptonite for me. I plan to have an identical setup with 0.5 sponge on my LP side to attack more consistently. I frankly at terrible in LP vs LP play.

It is alleged that the enemy of the LP is the SP , why don't you twiddle with a spinny SP?

.....have had no problems with the no spin ball in rallies since I changed over to SP twiddling .

Although fairly new to LP I love playing against LP, antispin or SP close to table choppers as the spin reversal which creates topspin allows very aggressive drives which really catches them out. Probably helps here that I come from MP and SP so I have a more aggressive mindset. Against no spin balls aggressive punches or side swipes seem a good option. All I need to do now is the work out how to deal with fast drives and topspin.
