Getting used to Short pimples

Dear Alois and Jeff

Once again many thanks for all that you do for us and table tennis.

I am a 65 year old player. I have for ever used reversed rubbers but I have decided to slow my game down by using a short pimples rubber on the b/hand. I have used this new combination bat for two sessions and, as I expected, there are good things and some bad ones.

I know that I will require an abundant dose of patience to get used to it. However are there any suggestions on the time required to get used to it and any tips on how to use it?

Kind regards

Filippo

Hi Filippo,

The best advice is be patient.  It may take a month or more to get used to the different reaction.  It may take even longer to get used to it in a match situation as under pressure you will go back to your natural reaction.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

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.
