Hi Jj,

Long pimples are probably the rubber of choice for most advanced defenders on their backhand side.  To start with though you can learn to defend with normal rubber on both sides.  Get a slower rubber that has good control.  You may even use a thinner sponge to help with the control of the ball.  Short pimples tend to be used more for close to the table fast attacking play rather than defending because you can’t generate much spin with them and they don’t have any reversing effects of spin like the long pimples.

Hi JJ,

if you are capable of getting good coaching and lessons, you can try out with phantom 008 or 009. Phantom can enhance your defensive skill but it will require proper coaching and practice.

So if I cannot defend with inverted,I cannot be good with longpips?
