Backhand hit using long pimples

Hi guys 

Thanks for all your advise and help I play with long pimples on my backhand I like to stay close to the table and look to attack with both forehand and backhand do you have any advise on being more consistent with long pimples i find the hit off long pimples is a terrific shot just needs to be more consistent

Many regards

John

Hi John,

This shot is easiest off a backspin ball as the backspin converts to topspin off the pimples and therefore makes the stroke easier to control.  You can do it off a topspin ball but because it then goes back with backspin you need more accuracy.

Take a look at the tutorial in our Advanced Long Pimples on Long Pimple Attack Against Backspin for some more help with this.
