Strategy
Can you serve long in doubles?(I see a lot doubles matches and they serve short every time)
Hi Chris,
You are allowed to serve long but it is not advisable. The opponent only has half the table to cover so it will be easy to attack if you serve long.
That is why they serve short most of the time.
In this video we will discuss the differences between Inverted and short pimple rubbers. We will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of short pimple rubbers. Some of the advantages are that the ball travels lower and flatter over the net and that having one rubber short pimple and one rubber inverted provides variety making it more difficult for your opponent.
