Haha, that isn't the ONLY ball Tat will PUNISH (utterly ruthlessly) (...I has been there / done that/ and got the free T-Shirt as a victim of some of Tat's OX hitting) (That is OK, I BH slapped him and others around a bit myself to fight back), but yes, such a ball could be dead meat for a kill or could be more calmly re-directed uncomfortably to the enemy depending on the mood of the LP player.

It's a good idea to just practice hitting the ball back flat with the pimple. Dtecs won't give enough grip to lift once the ball is dropping, but if I can hit it back at medium pace to get it back on, that might just work.

The problem with floats and pimples is that pimples need rotation.
A float does not have enough so you have to create the rotation on your own to stabilize the ball's trajectory.
It doesn't matter if you use attack or push but you have to use forearm and wrist (fast!) to generate rotation. Even with pimples like D'Tecs it is difficult because they have less grip than other pimples.

So practise a good use of your wrist
