Long pips against fast flat shots

Phillip Simmons Asked 7 years ago

I play against a friend who hits fast flat shots using a lot of wrist action.  When I return the shot with long pips what spin does it return to him?

Hi Phillip,

If he is using a lots of wrist he might be getting some topspin.  If this is the case then your long pimple shot will go back to him with backspin.  If there isn't much spin on the incoming ball then it will still tend to go back quite fat to him.
