Serving with long pimples

Equipment

Sometimes, I use long pimples to deceive my opponent into thinking it's an underspin when in fact, it has no spin at all, but is it possible to be able to serve an underspin using long pimples?

Hi John,

That is one of the shortfalls of long pimples. It is very difficult to generate any spin with them.  You can get a little bit but not enough to really trouble your opponent.

What you can do is use the normal rubber side for serving and then switch or twiddle the bat.

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!
