Playing against Short pimple rubber

Hi, Alois..

How to play agains player with offensive pip out rubber?...mostly my ball coming down to the net  if i hit the ball..Thank a lot

Hi Fahrudin,

This is a common problem.  The short pimple rubber does not generate much topspin.  When they hit the ball it comes through very flat and a little faster which adds to the 'weight' of the ball.

When playing Short pimple flat hit players you need to lift the ball a little more, like it has a little more backspin than you think.

The best thing is to slow heavy topspin or give them heavy backspin.  These are the two things that are difficult for the short pimple player to deal with.
