Ha Ha I did not know that , Now I better understand why Schöler was so traumatized that he successfully masterminded 3 regulations against long pips in addition to the primary reason.the japanese player who always beat up Schöler ?😀
I dont get the scholer reference
Itoh who became world champion by beating scholer trad penhold probably using sriver on one side of his racket.
he was a power player, a forerunner of kts and rsm
yeah i know,was a joke,
His name was Itoh and he was a cpen attacker,
Well the joke would be that everybody suspected Schöler was the LP player but he was a chopper,and in Munich were Itoh won he played a 2 Hour match against also a defensive japanese Player,so the other japanese defensive player may have used LP but could not verify that.
Hell I am not that old,i wasn´t alive then,lol

actually jpen
probably the japanese chopper was Takashima who at that time used Plous a normal butterfly rubber both sides right up to 1977 after that he used LP
at that time 1971 the chinese were secretive about their equipment and there was no rule requiring racket inspection. It seems the idea of combi play Black & Black did not occur to China straight away
so Takashima used double inverted?cause there was some rumor that he may have used LP and it was a novelty at that time,and quarterfinal may not seem much but it would definitely "make the tribune" for Lp in Pro Play.
And sry Jpen.
as you say
you were not alive at the time
I am not sure which exact match or championship (year) you are referring to but I never said it was himso you were alive and watched it live?so can you confirm he used it?
cause there are speculations to this day about that match,but all hearsay.
Cause wouldn´t then he be the first to use LP on a grand stage?
I visited the Birmingham 77 Worlds for the whole 14 days and was able to meet many of the players at different times
in particular
the swedes
Stellan Bengtsson
Kjell Johannson
The french
Secretin
the japanese
Maehara
Kohno
Takashima
Inoue
China
Liang ge liang
Guo Yue Hua
Huang Liang
Li Zhen shih
They were polite and friendly
I got t to see the bats of
Kohno
ph spectol
Takashima
inverted Plous both sides
I seem to remember that the chinese though friendly were a bit mysterious with their bats
but using my cameras Telephoto lens I could clearly see that Huang liang and liang ge liang both had LP on the Backhand
also at birmingham Butterfly and Stiga were marketing their version of chinese LP so the public began to understand what was going on
I am not sure if Scholer played Takashima in singles event earlier rounds at Munich in 1969thx pingpongdaddy,i meant him OP.
And the Match was Schöler vs Takashima in Munich
