Hi Kedar,

The Short pimples flattens out the spin on the ball.  If you play with topspin it will still come back with topspin but it will have less topspin.  The ball will tend to stay a bit lower.  It may even feel like it has backspin but it will still have topspin, just less of it.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Yes that is right. You get less backspin coming back.
