Hi Jay,

You need to hit the ball flatter with the pimples as they don't generate as much spin.  Make sure you hit the ball at the peak of the bounce so that it is easier to lift it over the net.

We will be making a video during the year about how to use short pimples in a match situation  We will add this to our Premium membership as part of our Match Strategy course.
