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.
