Why do we not use pimple bat?
Jeff Plumb Answered 7 years ago
Hi Ali,
The main reason most people choose inverted rubber over pimpled rubber is that with a pimple rubber you cannot generate much spin at all. The inverted rubbers are very tacky and hence are capable of gripping the ball and generating a lot of revolutions per second when you strike the ball with a fast brushing motion. The invention of inverted rubbers revolutionized the game of table tennis and now it really is a game of spin. It's the extreme topspin that allows the top players to hit the ball so hard and causes it to dip down and still hit the table.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
