Hi Marc,

You're not going to be able to generate the same amount of spin with short pimples that you can with normal rubber. This is just part of using the short pimples. You would be better off trying to play a game where you get into open rallies. Try serving more balls with topspin so you can start attacking and playing quite fast and flat.
