Strategy
If I am playing against a short pips defender, do I have to brush the ball with topspin or can I just smash the ball?
Hi Zach,
You still need to brush the ball because you opponent can generate spin with the short pimples. They can't generate as much as with an inverted rubber but you still need to be aware of spin.
Use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin as your main weapon.
Learn to dominate long pimples by understanding how they work. You are in control of what spin comes off the long pimples. Use this fact to your advantage to get the type of ball you like to play against.
