Playing short pimpled rubber
Strategy
Ajay Negi Asked 12 years ago
The oponent that I was playing was using a short pimpled rubber on the back hand and a regular rub on the forehand. When he was hitting chop with his pimpled rubber my return were going high on the net and he was killing it with his forehand. I want to know when my rturn was going high?

Hi Ajay,
The pimples doesn't generate as much spin as the normal rubber. So when he does a push stroke it looks like it has backspin but it doesn't have much. Therefore you need to play it like it is a no spin ball.

Hi Ajay,
Good to hear you have made an improvement. YOu are right , you probably need to play against it more often before you feel really comfortable against it. Keep going with it. Let me know of your progress or if you need any other help with it.
