Hi,
My opponent was playing with pimple rubbers and I couldnt get a topspin right. How can I topspin d ball next time?

Hi Daniel,
If it was a short pimple the ball would have been coming through flat. With this ball you need to lift the ball a little more. So make your topspin more vertical.
If the rubber was long pimple then it would be reversing the spin. So if you push to it, the ball will come back with topspin and you will need to go more forward on your next stroke. If you topspin a ball to it, then the ball will come back with backspin and you will have to lift the ball a little more.
Playing against pimple rubbers just takes getting used to. Try to play against it as much as possible and you will improve your play against them.

I play with player with backhand short pimpled and when I play topspin to his backhand there is a dip in the ball so it is harder to play topspin against it.
