Long pimple wobble

Edison Leung Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois,

I was watching some professional choppers with long pimples and they have the ability to produce a "wobbling" ball when chopping that looks weird.  How is this effect achieved with long pimples?

Thanks

Edison

Hi Edison,

If you contact the ball flat off a sidespin ball the ball will tend to wobble.  The wobble effect is a bit of an illusion.  It is just that the ball doesn't react in a way that we are used to.
