Hi PAtrick,

This depends on the style of game you want to play.  If you want to play a fast close to the table attacking game then the short pimples is better.  If you want to be more defensive, then try the long pimples.

Also take a look at the lesson on the Effects of Rubbers.  This will give you a better insight into what they do.

Let me know what you decide.
