Hey coach!!

In my tt class my sir's daughter has a tibhar grass rubber in her backhand.

It gives a very odd effect on the ball..... i really get confused while playing against her.....

if i give her a chop in forehand she hits a smash (i dont know how??)

what should i do in such a case??

Hi Tanay,

Tibhar Grass is a Long Pimple rubber.  This can be rally confusing to start with, but once you get the idea of how to play against long pimples the game becomes a lot easier.  One big aspect of learning to play against long pimples is to play against it a lot.

Take a look at our lesson on the Effects of Rubbers.  This will give you a better understanding.  Also take a look at the blog on Playing Against Long Pimples.  This will give you a good insight into what is happening. 

There is also more on this topic for our Premium Members in the Premium lessons.
