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.

🏓 Tip 1: Learn why playing more shots down the line helps your partner stay in position and how a well-timed cross-court attack can still surprise your opponents.
🏓 Tip 2: Discover the power of serving short and close to the centre line to reduce your opponents’ attacking options and give your team the advantage.
These small adjustments can make a big difference in your coordination, positioning, and success as a doubles pair.
