Hi Paul,

I find the best way to deal with long pips is to make a backspin ball to the long pips first.  This will give you a topspin return that you can attack.

We have a lesson on this in our Match Strategy section on Playing Against Long Pimples.

If you can get the backspin ball to the pips then you will have a ball that you can attack.  It is best to play a fast topspin.

I played a LP player on his backhand (his sevice return is extremely backhand oriented) about a week ago. I employed that tactic, but i was still not really get used to the topspin return (my third ball attack still often flied away). Even though i finally get used to it (closing my bat more), i still lost. I must practice harder. :)
