Can you attack with long/short pips
Equipment
Nicholas Niko Asked 8 years ago
Dear PingSkills,
I am really considering switching from from smooth rubber to long pip rubber, but i know that if i do i will lose my back hand attack. My question is, can i still attack with long pip rubbers, or is it only used for chopping and blocking. If I use short pips instead, will i be able to attack?
Thank you
Niko

Hi Niko,
It is more difficult to attack with Long Pimples. You can do it if there is some backspin on the ball.
Take a look at this tutorial on the LP Attack Against Backspin.
Short Pips will make it easier to attack in general if attacking is a focus for your game.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
