Hi Mikhail,

The short pimples won't generate as much spin as with inverted rubber.  You may be able to flick the ball or hit through it a little more than you normally would.  As you have 1.5mm sponge you will have good control from the rubber.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
