Hi Pingskills!

In a match, if a offensive player is equipped with long pimple and anti spin, will it be an advantage to the player that he/she's opponent is a chopper?

Hi Xariuz,

Yes it is difficult to attack with anti spin and long pimples.  An attacking player is better off to use a faster rubber and probably inverted pimples.

Against a chopper you can attack with these rubbers because you have more time and the backspin from the chopper will convert to topspin off the anti or long pimples.
