hallo

now i try to play with short pimples on my backhand: power dragon, 1,8, from palio.

block and counter are excellent and fast - but attacking against underspin is a problem.

is there any video about short pimples? (sorry for my poor english)

best greetings from vienna, austria

Hi Rudi,

This is one of the difficulties of short pimples.  You lose the ability to generate as much topspin.  You can still do it though, it is just a bit more difficult. 

Open the face of your bat up a little more to allow for the lack of lift with the pimples.

We don;t have a lesson on playing with short pimples at the moment, but we will add it to our list of requests.

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!
