Hello Coaches:
Can I use long pimple rubber to do looping, if it can, what is the technique to do it. Thanks
Best regards,

Hi Gregory,
The long pimple can't generate much spin of its own so it is no good for looping. You can attack if they give you a heavy backspin ball like we show in the lesson on the LP Attack Against Backspin.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

He could do a "topspin" with pimples.
I do not know what spin was on it but it was certainly a stable attack.

Hi Coach Alois:
How about short or medium pimples? If so, what is the techniques, I would like to defend but when opportunities come, I would like to attack with looping or topspin. Thanks

Hi Gregory,
You can generate more topspin with the short pimples than with medium or long. Conversely, you get less chopping control with the short so it is a matter of trying to find a happy balance of what you want to do.
The short still doesn't get anywhere near as much spin as with inverted rubber.
