Characteristics of short pimples
Strategy
Martin Stickley Asked 13 years ago
Hi Guys
I recently watched your exellent video about how to play against long pimples and I've already used it to good effect in a league match. I was now wondering about short pimples as I'm not really sure about the characteristics that short pimples have. Can you give some advise about playing aginst short pimples?
Many thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
Short pimples come back quite flat and fast. They don't reverse the spin just flatten it out a bit.
Players with short pimples usually like the ball coming through fast to them so in a match try to stay away from that type of rally.
We are doing a lesson on this for our Match Strategy Course. This will be filmed in a few weeks and up on the site soon after that.

Gerada v Lu
Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
