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.
