Hi Alois and Jeff,
Can you tell me what is short and long pimples exactly mean?
Jeff Plumb Answered 14 years ago
These are types of rubber. As the names imply, long pimples has long pimples and short pimples has short pimples. You can also get normal (also known as inverted rubber) and anti-spin.
The various types of rubbers all have different effects on the ball when playing your strokes. Each type of rubber reacts differently when a spinning ball hit them. This is partly due to the different friction levels.
The friction levels from highest to lowest are:
- Normal
- Short pimples
- Long pimples
- Anti spin

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
