Hi Riduan,

Just to clarify that the returner is using long pimples.  If this is the case, then you can push through the ball flat and fast to get the ball on the table.  You can even try to flick the ball with the long pimples as the backspin will reverse and make it feel like topspin.

If you mean that they have served with the long pimples then you can flick this ball because it won't have much spin on it from the long pimples.
