The weakness in the serve of lp's is that they can't hold spin. Serve downspin and you get a float or an open up. You can attack it and get the upper hand. Tactics people.

If that happened then the game would have no identity. It would be just another tennis. What's so great about table tennis is spin generation and the tactics made around it.

What I get from all this is that people that don't like lp's are lazy and don't want to learn anything new or put in some work to beat them. They always want a push to have downspin, yet they fail to realise that lp's bring some of the only variety in the game.

Now you're just stupid, lp is part of the game. If they should have their own category then so should tacky rubbers, hybrids, antis and tensors. And no, you're not entitled to an opinion if that opinion is stupid and the basis for it is unnecessary change that will make the sport have less...

I keep seeing on many forums people that hate lp's and want them banned. They think that they have an unfair advantage and that they require no skill to use. Personally I've played against many lp blockers and defenders and I've never had an issue. So why do so many people hate them? Are they...

This isn't a primitive sport like baseball for gorillas like you, it's table tennis. Using a different rubber is not an unfair advantage or the same would be said for tacky rubbers that make the ball literally stick to them. What is an unfair advantage is boosting, and that's chemical...

My bad, take xu xin out😂

Stop complaining and practice. Pimple rubbers have been a thing for far longer than inverted. It's not unfair advantage, pips have a bunch of disadvantages, people are just lazy and don't want to do the work to learn how to play against them. Stop crying like a baby and practice. Or you can keep...

Wang Liqin, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin(the imposter). Many people will disagree about Xu Xin, but he's one of the only players that truly put all of his body weight in his forehand, while at the same time hitting with a straight forearm that started behind his back. Same could be said for...

Exactly. Over the years I've had teammates with lomg pips, some of them blocked, others were defenders. I've trained with them and never had to even sweat to beat anyone with their styles in the league. If you know what to do against them, there is no threat.

It was pure coincidence. They wanted to make the ball bigger and heavier to make it slower so the cameras can catch it easier and make the sport more compatible with the TV. But it backfired and instead of rallies now we have serve/recieve and 2/3 balls, with the rallies being rarer than ever...

There are a bunch of long pips that are on the limits of what the ittf allows, from length, thickness and spreading. The new ball just destroyed defenders, now only lp blockers are really viable.

I've said it a million times but people are stupid and don't seem to understand. Lp is a rubber that requires time and practice to make effective like any other rubber, inverted or not. If you have problem playing against them then go practice and become better. Same thing has been happening...

Carbon can be made cheap and this is real, for rubbers do what you want, mercury 2 is really good for beginners. But here is the important part: If you want my advice, stay away from carbon for the first 2~3 years at least and get a 5ply all wood, or a 7ply all wood at most. Carbon is fast...

Oh yeah that's confusing alright😂😂

I think I get it now, thanks for the explanation!

Ok, thanks for clarifying

It might not be well pressed down, get a book and put some even pressure on it, it might stick. If not then you should reglue it.

The stuor long v is and off+ to off++, I had it, it's a rocketship. Try sanwei defence alpha or palio chopper 1. I have the palio and I can say it's soft but stiff, oversized and of high quality materials.

So wait, a better player has more or less ranking points?
