Hi guys,
my grandad recently turned 80 and has been playing with a dead bat for a long time. I let him play with my old stiga allround classic with a tenergy 05 and stiga calibra lt sound. He loved it just because it was faster and I was just feeding him balls so it was easy for him to get the ball back. I told him that if I start serving to him he wouldn't be able to handle the spin.. which was the case and is the case where he plays at the local club, unless the ball is set up well it's too difficult for him.
I've told him for ages that he should consider pimples on his backhand (he almost exclusively uses his backhand to counterhit/punch the ball, no forehand other than for the serve). Anyway, as he's now realized he can't return serves with my old bat he's looking to replace one of his rubbers on his bat with pimples.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what pimples he should be getting?
