Getting used to Short pimples

Equipment

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.
