@Lorre I don't think Mr.RicharD's point was against pips. He said that he doesn't mind playing against them. I agree with u on what u said about teaching the new players. When you lead practise sessions you should raise them with inverted on 2 sides I believe, and when they later find out they...

If the rubber is really not that old, you can contact the shop you bought it from. My teammate got a new rubber back then because the bubble appeared after a few weeks. It is obviously not something you have done, so it turned out they sold a bad quality rubber to you. I would at least try and...

Amazing interview!! :D

I'm not familiar with the ranking levels of play in America xD. But 90% is crazy, and I do agree that that might make new players quit the sport. Something there has to happen that makes people with inverted on both sides use their advantages against pips players, so the amount of pips players...

Haha kinda looks like that but I think it is just the light that comes from that side on his head that makes it look a bit like that.

Discussion is never offending, as long as there's no personal insults ;). I think we have very good discussions on this forum with all the great members :D

@Mr.RicharD The thing that now occurs to me is that in the area where u play probably more than 50% of the players uses pips. If that is true I understand ur point. At the club where I play we have like 150 members, from which less than 5 use pips. Also in competition the amount of pips players...

That should be killers though haha. U'll be so out of position with the type of shots this guy does xD. Dima and Bentsen are examples of extremely BH orientated players at times, but to dominate the sport some Chinese guy should get this style, and that's not gonna happen in thier practise halls...

U can try to reglue it but I am afraid the rubber is waste now :( My teammate had this too with some rubber. He got a new one once or twice but it kept happening. Then he switched to another brand and it was over. So it might just be the rubber.

It really looks like how it's played on campings and stuff :P Awesome serves as well haha.

I believe for women Zhang Yining had it for some consecutive years lol, for men's I don't know.

I think Mattenet gets more speed on BH flick too, but that's just insane how he does that sometimes haha.

The rubbers on their site are very very cheap for 'Chinese pro rubbers'. U ever bought something there? Was it real? xD

That is AMAZING :D Once he learns English he can start to post ;)

True. On short balls/serves with less spin and enough height FH flick is still a good option.

I agree with Carl. It might be true that players who use pips on for example backhand don't have a good backhand technique with inverted rubbers. We don't know because we don't see them play with it. But players with inverted on backhand might have a bad technique if they would use pips. It...

Ah that's too bad :( Maybe they can give it another try at the Olympics xD

BH in FH position is mainly used for flicks. With BH flick you can get more wrist movement involved in your flick and thus create more spin.

I hope u find urself with nothing to do more often ;) Thanks for making and sharing :D It's awesome !!

Ah months of course, not weeks haha. I get it now xD
