Hi Sandeep,

Short pimple rubber tends to flatten out the spin on the ball and is used for fast close to the table play.

Long pimple rubber reverses the spin on the ball and tends to be used by defensive players that either chop or block close to the table.

Take a look at our lesson on the Effects of Rubbers which will help.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
