Hi Raaquib,

It is great that you have been playing a lot of tournaments.

If they push with short pimples it will not have as much spin as if they push with inverted rubber.  So you need to adjust your stroke for that.  Push the ball lower or make your stroke more vertical so the ball goes lower over the net.
