I see a lot of players bitch and moan about nets and edges. I agree of a massive misread shot they can be extremely fortunate.
However, if you are a brave player (like me) with your positioning of the ball, I play wide and long when I can you are going to get edges. I get a lot of edges. But I do not play like a pussy hitting all my shots down the middle of the table, I am brave in my ball placement, when I get an edge it is often because I have been accurate and played on the lines, in tennis this gets applauded.
I use short pimples, but this applies to all players anyway, when returning serves and not playing attacking shots (and sometimes when attacking too) one of the important things is to keep the ball low, so it can not be whacked. So if you are trying to keep the ball low it is inevitable you will get nets.
So one could argue that brave and accurate players get lots of nets and edges.
Although we all know long pimple players are rubbish and get lucky nets all the time, and have very limited ability in general. Pimple W***ERS!
