Strategy against a short pips defender

If I am playing against a short pips defender, do I have to brush the ball with topspin or can I just smash the ball?

Hi Zach,
You still need to brush the ball because you opponent can generate spin with the short pimples. They can't generate as much as with an inverted rubber but you still need to be aware of spin.
Use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin as your main weapon.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher
Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
