Hi Paul,
I find the best way to deal with long pips is to make a backspin ball to the long pips first. This will give you a topspin return that you can attack.
We have a lesson on this in our Match Strategy section on Playing Against Long Pimples.

Hi.. so you say that o should atack from the first ball ? how ? smash or top spin?

If you can get the backspin ball to the pips then you will have a ball that you can attack. It is best to play a fast topspin.

I played a LP player on his backhand (his sevice return is extremely backhand oriented) about a week ago. I employed that tactic, but i was still not really get used to the topspin return (my third ball attack still often flied away). Even though i finally get used to it (closing my bat more), i still lost. I must practice harder. :)

Yes Erriza, the more you do it the better you will get at it.
