Hi Alois, I had my first session with the LP tonight. I found it really difficult, you have to generate all your own spin its like playing with cardboard. As oppose to Tenergy where it does all the work for you. I was wondering how to get heavy backspin chop consistently as when I did it they were mostly no spin/ light backspin making it easy for the opponent to attack. 

Thanks

Hi Tam,

You can't generate your own spin with the long pimples.  You are relying on the spin that comes from your opponent.  If they give you a heavy topspin you will be able to return it with heavy backspin.

You do have the option of twiddling and using the inverted rubber on your backhand if you want to generate the spin yourself.
