I have always wondered about that. I never have played pips but basically you can't hit any topspin with it and basically just flat smash the ball, right?
So why aren't players like mima ito or Mathias falck twiddling to their inverted side to for example loop a deep underspin push? If they don't twiddle couldn't you put them on defense by just doing a deep underspin push into their pips side and if it stays low below net height they can't really smash it?
I also wonder why liu Guoliang didn't use his inverted side to serve. Doesn't it generate more spin than the pips side?
Sorry if that is a stupid question as I have never played with any kind of pips.
