Hi Tanmoy,
I would use the short pimples first. This will give you more options and allow you to hit the ball flat and fast for the block or punch. An Anti spin on the fast blade is difficult to get a proper effect with.

Thanks, Alois. Ordered a sheet of 820-40 (short pips). Let's see how it goes. Do you have any guidance videos of how to play with short pimples? Generally how long does it take to become good at playing with short pips when switching from inverted? Is short pimples good at receiving very spinny serves?
Hi Tanmoy,
It may take a week or two to get the feel of it and then a month or so to be comfortable.
It is easier to return serve tan with inverted rubber but you still need to get used to the different effect.
Let us know how it all goes.
