Hi Prateek,

It is something we are working on as part of our Match Strategy Course which will be part of our Premium Membership.  It should be available in the next few months.

Some basic things to think about are to play with spin because spin is the hardest thing for short pimples to handle.

You can start the rally with backspin and then when you get the opportunity make a topspin with more spin than speed.  Short pimple players like the ball coming through fast and flat.
