I play with short pips and problem slow floats to my backhand. How do i attack slow floats to my b/hand short pips?

Hi Frank,

The short pips are good for attacking this type of ball. Think about hitting the ball flat and fast with the pips. If you can watch Ai Fukuhara’s backhand stroke you will see some good examples of this.
