Hi Lars,
Short pimples can be tricky when you first play against it.
The pimple tends to flatten out the spin on the ball. If they block your topspin with the pimples it will feel like it has a little backspin on the ball because of the difference to what you are used to receiving from the inverted rubber.
We have a tutorial for this purpose. Take a look at Help Playing Short Pimpled Rubber.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
