I think Dan (the administrator) would be the best person to find out the answer cos he is always in touch with the pros!

To put it in simple terms: short pips is similar to reversed rubber but has less spin. If you play a shot with your reverse rubber, the return from a long pips will have the opposite spin!

Your forehand service is pretty good. Try return the ball earlier with the backhand topspin to dominate the rallies.
