Hi Alois,

You mentioned about the reverse effect of long pimples rubber on spin.

What spin will it become when my opponent, who uses long pimples rubber, returns my backspin serve with a chop?

Hi Chau,

If you give them backspin it will come back to you with topspin.  That is what we mean about the reverse effect.  The pimples doesn't have much friction on them so the chop stroke they make won't have much effect.

Take a look at this blog and the related article that will show you clearly what is happening with the long pimples.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
