A real low and short
no-spin serve can give you some easy points in matches, as they are
difficult to flip hard, and they require good timing to push hard.
Mix it up with a heavy backspin in the same spot. Remember to get it
short, the ball should bounce short on your side close to the net...

The Globe 889 is very spinny
for a short pimpled rubber. This is because the pimpled are wide, soft and
rough, with a soft sponge.
Short pimpled rubbers are ideal
for fast hitting through spin (as incoming spin has much less effect on this
rubber) and blocking. Because the 889 can generate good spin too, it can still
be used for looping and chopping too. A very versatile rubber.
