Long pimple wobble
Strokes
Edison Leung Asked 12 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.
