Short or Long pimples

Fredy Leong Asked 11 years ago

Personally, I like to chop as I am a defensive player. I would rather chop closer to the table but when my opponent gives me a fast smack or topspin, I would like to stand further to do the chops(those which player like Kim Kyung Ah does). So my questions is whether short-pimples would be effective enough for further chops that are away from the table, or should I use long-pimples instead for more spin? Thank you in advance :D

Hi Fredy,

I think it is better to use long pimples because they will absorb more of the speed of the ball and also give you better spin reversal.
