Long Pimples v Short Pimples
Strategy
Andre Aguirre Lopez Asked 6 years ago
Hello Alois,
I am a long pimples OX player, I play inside the table and I attack eventually doing twiddling or with my forehand. Actually I have problems with players who have short pimples, when I block or pass the ball with my Long Pimples I feel that it does not hurt them and I even attack with long pimples and they respond without problems the attacks unlike normal players. They even attack me on the left with short pimples and it is difficult to answer. How do you recommend me to play? Best regards

Hi Andre,
Think about their weaker side or if they have normal rubber on one side to attack to that side instead of their pimples.
They can still make mistakes on the short pimple side too. Try to employ other basics tactics such as moving them around and using variation.
