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.
In this video we will discuss the differences between Inverted and short pimple rubbers. We will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of short pimple rubbers. Some of the advantages are that the ball travels lower and flatter over the net and that having one rubber short pimple and one rubber inverted provides variety making it more difficult for your opponent.
