How to deal with short pimples

Strategy

Manfred Rolfsmeier Asked 1 year ago

I just had to play against an opponent with short pimples and he shot almost everything. I tried the chopping mode but as soon as the ball got a little higher he attacked it and even twiddled his bat. It was really frustrating and I wonder if there's a strategy to deal with such playing styles.

Thanks

Take a look at the tutorial on Short Pimples Showdown - Overcoming Frustration and Finding Success.

Sounds like it's exactly what you need!
