Hi Alois

If a my opponent pushes a backspin ball downwards with a long pimple rubber instead of just blocking the ball, what spin would I get.

Hi Yap,

It won't have as much topspin as it would if he just pushed forward on the ball but it will still have a little topspin on it.

 It always feels that I have got a backspin ball, do I need to brush the ball more?

Yes, try brushing up a little more.
