What is a great Short pips to use on backhand my coach said it may work for me , what does ito and sun minyang use out of curiosity?
Ito uses Moristo a speed oriented pip, Mingyang uses Victas 102 a spin oriented short pip. Both are on the soft and bouncy side. What kind of game are you planning on playing? Classic block and smash, or more aggressive spin variation/attacking?
First starting out on SPs? Then I'd say 802 or 802-40. No need to break the bank on something that might not work for you anyways. Furthermore, those are very good SPs.
Honestly I have a hard time telling the difference between the two. The size of the pips, etc are almost identical. But this myth that 802-40 is some kind of super-charged spinnier version from classic 802? I don't see it. At least not in the sheets I've had. It's a very mild difference and what sponge you have on it is a pretty big factor.
