Second loop return from a Long Pimple
Strokes
IMMANUEL J Asked 8 years ago
Hi Coach!! Good Day!!,
My question is,
I was made to understand that while playing loop against the Long Pimpled backhand the spin progresses on its return, as we keep continuously top spinning the ball. My question is I am not able to understand why I need to play open bat loop vertical and not with a closed bat. My understanding is that the Long Pip's return is a back spin and it progresses to the effect of a normal chop made by a flat sponge rubber unless the Long Pips return is a variation of multiple spins present at one time. And secondly why does the ball drag down?
Sincerely,
Mannie

Hi and Good Day Mannie!!
The backspin will drag the ball down into to the net. By opening up the angle of your racket and having a more vertical stroke you will find it easier to lift the backspin. If you have a closed bat the ball will be harder to lift over and will probably go into the net.

Thank You so Much! Alois!f
My last question on this is Can I consider this to be a slow motion back spin as against a back spin of normal sponge rubber, where speed of the ball differs significantly as a result the probability of returning the ball with a vertical face up position is high.

It can still have a lot of backspin on it. Just as mush as with normal rubber.
