Hi Jeff and Alois

Is playing against medium pimples the same as playing against long pimples? If not what's the strategy for playing against medium pimples?

Thanks

Shaun

Hi Shaun,

The strategy is basically the same.  The difference is that there will be less reversal of spin with the medium pimples and the user can attack a little easier with them so you need to be more aware of this.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
