Hey Sensei, yes when we get back to filming we will definitely be looking to add more videos for pimple players for sure so keep an eye out for those. The main thing for playing the style you spoke about here is to be very confident in hitting the ball early and attacking quickly before your opponent has time to attack first and put you under pressure. We just reviewed the Rakza 7 rubber and found it very good, excellent control!
I would also say you need to get comfortable controlling topspin shots at the pimples as well as plenty of return of serve practice so you can keep the ball either tight or play a positive shot on the return against different serves. When playing with pimples you have the advantage of being able to negate spin a lot more and get on the front foot early, so try to make the most of that and mix it in like you mentioned with using the spin of the normal reverse rubber. If there’s anything else specific you’d like advice on just let me know or if you’d like us to take a look at you playing we’d be happy to analyse it and give you feedback.
Tom
