Short Pimples usage

Frank Ford Asked 13 years ago

Hi, can you please advise what is the percentage of Olympic champions using short pimples? Do the majority of them use spin rubbers?

What are the advantages & disadvantages of a light or heavy blade? Thank you

Hi Frank,

Some of the female players use short pimples but none of the males.

As far as blades, it is a matter of what feels better for you.  The lighter bat is easier to manoeuvre and swing through, the heavier bat will add more speed once you get it moving faster.

I prefer the lighter bat to be able to do more with it as far as strokes and being able to change direction with it easier.
