using long pimples

Roman Sukhanov Asked 13 years ago

Hi Jeff and Alois

I started to use long pimples on my backhand side some weeks ago. I have a question: when a high ball comes to my backhand should I hit it hard or cheat and just touch it?

Hi Roman,

It is difficult to hit the ball hard with long pimples.

I wouldn't call it cheating but you should think about placing the ball well with the pimples or you can step around and attack it with your forehand.
