Topspin with long pimples

sachin kumar Asked 14 years ago

Can i do a backhand topspin with a Mark-V Phantom 007 rubber? It is a long pimple rubber.

Hi Sachin,

If you take a look at our lesson on the effects of different rubbers, you'll see that long pimpled rubber cannot generate very much spin of it's own accord. This means you will not be able to hit a spinny topspin stroke with long pimples.
