Two-Sided JPen — Any Good Instructional Material?

[LeBallski]

Hi everyone. I’m a beginner, and I play with a JPen ( Yinhe 988) with inverted rubber on both sides (Xiom Vega intro FH, Nittaku c1 BH). I find it very comfortable, and I feel confident using it. The problem is that there is a lot of prejudice against this setup in Brazil, and there is basically no proper coaching for it at clubs.


Does anyone know of any instructional material other than Matsushita’s or Araki’s? (I haven’t abandoned TPB completly).

(I’m also doing some research on the impact of this prejudice in Brazil, but that’s another topic.)

That's strange. I'm not sure why there is prejudice, since Brazil has many CPen and JPen players. The only thing that matters is comfortability and suitability.
I think you've got enough material to learn off. Matsushita released an entire tutorial DVD. And there are many recordings of his T League and Euro League matches.
Coach Shimoyama is also good. If you paste her name into YouTube there is match footage and tutorials. She uses Hino Carbon blade which is very similar to yours.

Obviously the style works, and I think CPen tutorials and footage from players like Dang and Felix would still be applicable - honestly the 2 styles are reasonably identical. Obviously Taisei is playing T-League still, so definitely keep up with his matches if you can to take notes! He recently switched to Zyre on both sides.

They don't upload here anymore, but this is the Matsushita brothers channel. Nice reference.
