How to serve against long pimple opponent
Strategy
Yang Gao Asked 9 years ago
Hi,
What are effective serves against long pimple opponents? I found the regular backspin serves are very easy for them to attack because the rubber turns a backspin into top spin.

Hi Yang,
I fid the backspin serves are effective a lot of the time even though they an attack, they can't attack fast because of the speed of their rubber.
Perhaps also concentrate on keeping the serve lower so it doesn't give them as much height to work with.
You can also serve longer to them which gives you more time to see the attack coming and react to it.
