Adjusting to an opponent using long pips
Strategy
Neal Van Haverbeck Asked 9 years ago
I use a lot of spin techniques and when I play an opponent who uses long pips they essentially ignore my spin efforts. What should my counter be to a long pips user?

Hi Neal,
Once you get the feel of the effects of the pimples you will be able to control the game.
Start by doing a straight backspin ball. They will return it with topspin which you will be able to attack.
Don't use too much sidespin because you will get a really awkward back. Straight backspin and topspin are usually the easiest ways to play against the long pimples.

If you're having trouble returning a smash, you are not alone. The secret is to stop your opponent from attacking in the first place. Improve your short game and you will become the attacker!
