Long pimple wobble
Strokes
Edison Leung Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
I was watching some professional choppers with long pimples and they have the ability to produce a "wobbling" ball when chopping that looks weird. How is this effect achieved with long pimples?
Thanks
Edison

Hi Edison,
If you contact the ball flat off a sidespin ball the ball will tend to wobble. The wobble effect is a bit of an illusion. It is just that the ball doesn't react in a way that we are used to.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
