Transition to short pimples.

[Mederos]

Since I started playing table tennis, I have been learning the technique with normal rubbers. However, I have decided to try the Speedy Soft XD short pimples rubber (2.0 sponge thickness) on the backhand, because I am a player who always looks for his forehand and I intend to use it more on the backhand.
The thing is that I find it difficult to understand how to push the ball and I need some tips to change the technique from a normal rubber to a short pimples one.
Thanks.

This is SP for defenders.

Pushing with SP is not much different than with regular rubbers. You just need to adjust the angle of the bat. Just practice a bit on finding the right angle and brush the ball less.

It's all about a short ball contact with the blade. You mainly hit the ball by a short and quick punch. Start with that video below, I believe that's the most crucial point for your transition. Because of that some stiffer blade is advised for SP as well.
Spinfire and 802-40 are closest to a normal rubber, transition is really intuitive and easy here, but I didn't play that Tibhar one, so you would need to find out how to cut and push the ball using it on your own (blade angle adjustment etc.).

I decided on the Tibhar rubber because I've heard it's recommended for the change to short pimples. Thank you very much, I'll watch the video and see if I can get some ideas.
