I imagine the answer is probably yes and its the wrong idea, but.. I have been toying with the idea of changing style to a modern defender.
What do you think are the skillsets or key strengths that fit that style? To see if they align.
Ive always played with two reverse rubbers in an...
Hello there!!!
I've been playing as a chopper for a while now and im enjoying it very much. One thing im becoming aware is that i tend much more to try a FH Chop than a counterattack/lob/fish, and for me it is really satisfying.
With my current setup, Vioncello +G-1 Max + Curl P1 1.7mm i can...
does anybody know what long pip and the thickness
Filus
Gionis
Ma te
Wei xing

Only thing I know is that Joo uses 1.8mm(MAX) thick Curl P1r
thanks in advance
Hello, im new in this site.Currently, I play as modern defender and sometimes I struggle with my chops. I spin and block on the forehand side and I chop on the backhand. Can you give me some tips regarding the technique of chopping in general? Thanks in advance.
I've been playing with a cream transcend 2.0 on both sides and an ALL blade. I want to try and get a rubber to 1.8 roughly but not sure what you guys would recommend? I really enjoy watching videos of attackers vs modern defense and how they chop the ball from far away or quickly switch to...
Hi, my friend is a defender and wants to be able to topspin on the forehand and backhand to. For example he defends a lot but at the beginning of the rally he tries to open with an attack.
What are professional defenders using? Are they using Tenergy? perhaps with a thin sponge like 1.7?
Any...
Almost every modern defender has a stroke they use on their forehand side where they use a very short stroke and seem to basically block or scoop a heavy topspin shot when they are back from the table. Not a full swing loop, and it seems they are just making a safe shot back on the table. Anyone...
Hallo all,
I'm searching for a suitable rubber on my forehand. I'm really not sure what to choose. So far I've decided for Joo Se Hyuk blade and TSP P1R 1 mm on backhand. The reason why I'm choosing new equipment is that my old bat was broken. I used to play with Stiga defensive wood NCT, TSP...
Blade: LKT Toxic 3
FH: 729 el supersoft 1.5
BH: Milkyway Neptune 0.7
This should be my first defensive paddle, for chopping and eventually looping with fh.
What are your opinions? :)
Hi.. I often lose to long/short pimple players. So I have decided to get a pimpled setup to practice with my coach and friends.
Any recommendations for a decent pimpled rubber (budget 25 USD)? I have a Stiga Offensive classic lying around. I could use that blade or I am even open to getting a...

For those who love to watch chops by Joo, Koji.., there is a good news!! We got another talented player coming up. He is "Liu Yi". Check the video below. I see his game quite good for a newcomer .

I've been chatting with my coach and we have different points of view. He thinks a defender shoal play with normal rubber both sides, whereas I play with long pimples and I thinknit is better. What do all of you guys think? I think long pips or short pips are better at top level and that's why...
