Hi everyone
My partner is trying to start using short pimple on her backhand, and we are not sure which blade she should use.
Here is her background... She has received proper training when she was little, so her forehand basic is very decent. Her backhand on the other side is very basic. Nothing more than blocking and pushing, very passive. Now she is interested in picking up short pimple on her backhand. The idea is utilise short pimple on backhand to set up for her forehand attack, since she is a lot more confident with her forehand.
Our question is, can we put a short pimple (SpinLord Waran) on her current 5 ply wood blade?
It is a Nittaku Violin. Slow, and control, with Ash as top ply. She knows it well, been using it for several years now.
We notice most online discussions suggest to use 7 ply wood instead. Will she be able to learn short pimps on her current blade? Or is she better off starting on a 7ply wood straight away.
Personally I use inverted rubbers on a Nittaku Adelie. Its 7ply, slow, good control, limba top, and thin. I wonder if I should just let her use my blade instead.
In my collection, I also have a Samsonov Force Pro Black, Donic Ovtcharov Senso V1 (walnut top). I found Samsonov a bit too fast, and Ovtcharov a bit too hard for myself. But it could just be me. I am happy to try them again if Adelie is more suitable for her.
Many thanks in advance
