It is usually accepted by most that artificial systems, especially strong club openers are superior to natural systems. Leaving this discussion aside, there is one thing you should not do when defending against such systems: giving them a comfortable, uncontested auction. You must have some sort of convention as a good measure.
Perhaps, the simplest of them all that requires no change to your over-call style is the Nuisance 1♠. The convention is simple: you switch the meanings of pass and 1♠. After a strong 1♣ you over-call 1♠ with all hands that you will normally pass and pass with all hands you will bid 1♠.
Nuisance 1♠ is no burden on memory and effective against most of big club systems. Residents of ACBL land should first check if it is legal in ACBL sponsored events.
