Looping with Medium Pips
Strategy
Eric Soberano Asked 7 years ago
Hello. Can you please let me know how effective looping is with medium pips on either the forehand or backhand?

Hi Eric,
If you are really looking for a strong loop then medium pimples isn't the bed away to go.
However, if you are looking for a change up then the loop with the long pimples can be effective. The ball will come through slower than with an inverted rubber and also have less spin. A player that isn't used to seeing this ball will have difficulty with it. This can be a really effective change up.
