Not all players understand how to beat opponents with long pimples. There are even players who are so reliable against players with smooth/inverted rubber bands (inverted), but look helpless against players who use long pimples.
The problem is that long pimple rubber produces a different effect than plain/slick/ordinary (inverted) rubber.
To be able to play well and be able to win matches against players who use long pips, we must know the characteristics of this type of rubber and apply the right game tactics.
Character
Basically this type of long dotted rubber has a slower character, namely the ball that comes in contact with the rubber becomes slower.
The Long Spot has the property of "continuing the ball", so the effects that arise include changing the type of incoming ball (for example a topspin ball will change to backspin), increasing the strength of the incoming spin, by `pushing` a ball loaded with backspin will produce light top spin, by chopping downwards on the back spin ball it will produce maximum back spin returns.
Thus a simple formula will occur: empty is filled, filled is empty, meaning that if our ball is empty it will return to being a filled ball, and if our ball is filled it will return to being an empty ball.
How to play
After knowing and understanding the effects of the ball produced by long pimples, then to be able to win the game you have to apply the right tactics.
Our position must always be close to the table, do long serves, don't do loops/spin shots over and over again with the same rhythm, use fast and long pushes then do attacks, often use long balls without spin to press.
Sparring Partners
After we know and understand the effects produced by long pimples and the right tactics to deal with them, then one thing that is important to do is often do partner sparring with players who use long pimples to get used to the effects.
Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
