Long pimples or not

Marco Dufresne Asked 12 years ago

I am presently playing very well on my forehand side but when it comes to my backhand loops they end up a lot in the net or outside of the table.  My opponents are taking advantage of this by playing on my backhand.  I am playing a Roxon 330 on my backhand and I am wondering if a long pimples rubber would give me back the competitive advantage.

Hi Frederik,

I am not sure if long pimples is the answer.  If you want to attack at all on the backhand then it is really difficult with the long pimples.  It may make it more difficult for your opponent but it may also make it more difficult for you.

Why don't you give it a try for a week and see what happens.
