Hi Mohsen,

The sponge on the back will aid control.  If there is no sponge you will get less control with the long pimples.

Short pips without any sponge isn't rally viable at all.  You won't get any spin or control.

The long pips without sponge will have a little more effect on the ball.  It will reverse the spin a bit more and there will be more "wobble" on the ball as well.

You can deal with it in the same way, just be aware of the extra effect.
