Effect of ox short pips
Strategy
Anthony Capasso Asked 10 years ago
Hi guys,
There is a guy at my club who uses ox short pips. Even though I beat him, I get a lot of balls that can be attacked that I don't know how to approach. Please explain the effects of that kind of rubber. Thanks.

Hi Anthony,
He won’t be able to get much spin but he will have good control of the ball.
Try to play topspin balls against any long balls.
