Hi Maa,

Short pimples are better for flat fast attacking from close to the table.

Focus on these types of strokes to make full use of the short pimples.

Try to take the ball at the top of the bounce.  The pimples don't allow you to generate as much topspin as inverted rubber so you need to hit the ball from higher because there isn't as much margin for error over the net.
