Hi Dennis,

Short pimples are good for flat hitting an fast play close to the table.

It is difficult to generate too much spin with them though.  To attack with them you need to hit through flat on the stroke.  To defend you have a lot of control but you don't have the ability to generate much spin.  It also doesn't reverse the spin like long pimples.

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!
