Hi,
I'm an intermediate level player who has been playing with long pips since I can remember holding my first racket. My coach handed it to me and I have been sticking with it since 2007. However, I have recently been working on my backhand top spins, smashes, counter and blocking with an inverted rubber and I feel really confident with that too. I often flip my long pips whenever I have to attack with my BH and it is now a reflex. I am now thinking of switching to an inverted rubber on my BH and becoming a completely offensive player which is pretty different from my older chopping style that I am accustomed to, because of the long pips. Does this sound like a wise decision or should I stick to my Long pips and the playing style my coach decided for me when I was 12 years old? I do have a little trouble picking up really spinny serves with an inverted rubber, but I think I can work on it. Also, how long do ya'll think this transition might take?
