I've been trying to cultivate a more blocking centered style, and have a few questions on the types of rubbers to use.
The blockers I enjoy watching are Oh Sang Eun, Kenta M, He Zhi Wen, and Zhang Yining to give you an idea of how I'd like to play. Although I also enjoy a number of the lower ranked chop-blockers using LP at the table.
My question is, are long pips able to perform a similar style to these players? Or would you consider them to be more 'deception' focused with reversals and whatnot, trying to make your opponent make a mistake through misreading the spin? Whereas with inverted, you can block back fast bullets for outright winners. Off to the angles etc. And a similar style for short pips?
So, is it correct to say that LP blocking uses a slower pace with more of a reliance on the spin shifting? And SP and inverted rely more on the speed/angles when blocking?
