Long pips against fast flat shots

Strokes

Phillip Simmons Asked 8 years ago

I play against a friend who hits fast flat shots using a lot of wrist action. When I return the shot with long pips what spin does it return to him?

Hi Phillip,

If he is using a lots of wrist he might be getting some topspin. If this is the case then your long pimple shot will go back to him with backspin. If there isn't much spin on the incoming ball then it will still tend to go back quite fat to him.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
