Attacking with Short Pimples
Strokes
Linux Lindberg Asked 12 years ago
Hi again Jeff and Alois,
I am starting to get short pimple rubber 1.8mm sponge on my backhand, but I do not know how should I attack with backhand? I can't do it normally with normal rubber. Also if I change to my forehand, how should I attack with forehand then?

Hi Linux,
As the short pimples can't generate as much spin as normal rubber, you can't play the same kind of topspin. Short pimpled players like to play quite flat and fast. Try to get into counterhit rallies and use a stroke similar to a backhand counterhit. If the ball comes with backspin you can either push the ball back or try to lift it.
