Why Short Pimples

Equipment

There is a question that I'm curious about. I understand why people go to long pimples or antispin -- they want to play defensive. But why do someone migrate to short pimples on one side or even both? What is the motivation, why do people give up the opportunity to play with lots of spin from both wings?

Hi Ilia,

Short pimples allow you to hit the ball flatter and faster.  It can also help attacking players that are having problem in dealing with spin.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
