Hi,

I am a short pips player, and I can't really find any guide that will tell me how to use it well, I like it because of how the shots turn out with it.. Any suggestions?

Hi Omri,

It's great to hear that you're experimenting with short pips! They can really add an interesting dynamic to your game. Short pips are excellent for players who prefer a fast, aggressive style of play, as they can help in hitting the ball flatter and faster. We have a tutorial on the this topic that I think will really help you.

Take a look at How to Play with Long Pimples Rubbers.

After you have had a look through, let me know if you have any questions.
