Looping backspin with short pimple rubber
Strokes
Jasper Low Asked 3 years ago
Hi Alois. I noticed that I can't use the exact same stroke when I loop backspin with inverted rubber. How should I play this stroke with the short pimple rubber on the backhand side?

Hi Jasper,
You need to use a flatter stroke. Contact the ball from a higher position and hit more forward on the ball. The backspin doesn't react with the short pimple as much as it does with an inverted rubber.
