THANKS AND ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS COACH :)
Hi,
The first thing to remember is that he can't generate much spin himself with the long pimples.
If you give him a lot of topspin then you will get a lot of backspin back. If you give them a lot of backspin you will get back a lot of topspin.
So you are in control of what spin you get back. It is then a matter of getting used to the different response from their bat. It isn't anything weird, just different.
The more you get a chance to hit against it the better you will get at playing against it. FInd someone with long pimples and play, play, play.
For or Premium members there is a lesson in our Match Strategy course on Playing Against Long Pimples.
We analyse the exciting match between Michael Huang and Maggie Meng and discuss how the game was won and lost. Some key points are the excellent serving and use of spin by Michael, and the good placement by Maggie and fast attacks with the pimpled rubbers.
