pips

Perhaps this is an issue a lot of players will have at some point, and I cannot stop thinking about why I lost so easily against this long pip player in particular. To begin with, I guess one can say I'm fairly experienced and has had enough exposure playing against long pip players to...

Can anyone tell me if there are any short pips that don't have ribbed pimples? I've seen a few LP's that have smooth pimple tops (although most are still ribbed from what I can see) but I can't seem to find any SP's with smooth pimple tops. I'm working on the basis that a smooth SP would tend...

Ok so I'm gonna make me a 'fun' bat. Chen Weixing style. I don't want to be playing mid distance unless I have to, prefer to stay 1-3ft from the table blocking, chopping with BH and blocking, looping, attacking with the FH. 1. Do I go for OX or get some sponge (no higher than 1mm). 2. Do I get...

Hey guys! I need your help Does anybody knows what is better on FH for classic defence as I played(https://www.youtube.com/user/sirius13PHOBOS): 1. TSP super spin pips chop II 1.7 2. TSP Spectol 1.8 3. Friendship 802 1.8 4. Your variant I want to try short pips on my FH

Can I use short pips on the Nittaku Trefire for forehand? Control is 59.

Hi TTD players. Raise your hand if you are tired of being defeated by equipment that you haven't trained against enough;). I'll raise mine first. What I'd like to ask is if there is a definitive guide out there for strategy against pips players? From serve to rally. I understand that the...

Just a week ago, I decided to pull a trigger on RITC 802-40 short pips rubber on my BH. I thought to myself "WTH, let's just try this" and for me somewhat, short pips might makes sense. My level of play is probably a stable 1600-1650 USATT. My forte is in making good (either under or side)...

So... I have been thinking about switching to pips out rubber on my backhand. My main reason for doing this is that I find it very hard to learn a good, solid backhand top spin attack shot. I can block ok and flic decently, but for attacking with good top spin far from the table... too...

I've been doing some tinkering with medium pips, but am a little confused as to how they 'should' be played! My game style is a close to the table blocker/looper on the backhand side and a blocker/hitter on the forehand. Would they be a good fit? They don't really have enough spin reversal to...

Is there a normal preference for either using OX or sponged LP for close to the table blocks? Advantages/disadvantages of each one? I've seen conflicting accounts on the topic. Some say OX gives more control, and others say the sponge helps slow the ball down for even more control... I'm looking...

I have been an attacking "smooth rubber" player for some time now and have recently moved to short pimples on the backhand. I have a few questions: 1) What are specific tactics (or set-plays) which players with short pips try to implement? 2) What short pip rubbers do the top players use? Any...

I am looking for videos of players who are playing with short pips forehand / backside backhand here a child in France :

I, NextLevel, master of Lumberjack TT, have trained for 5 years in order to look like a respectable table tennis player. After working with my first coach for four years, he gave up on me, saying that no matter how hard I tried, I could not look like a true or good table tennis player. So I...

I'm looking for (high level)match videos between attackers and anti/ long pips players, to learn from. Hoping for some links.

Hey people, What's the best moment that we know we should change from inverted rubber, to short pips or long pips? For example, a forehand looper that uses backhand only to hit, lob or block should change to short pips? Or a guy that learns to play with a variety of strokes, like spinny...

I have been an aggressive player and recently i got injured. Gunna switch to chopping for a bit. any recommendations on long pips?

Hello :) ! Several exciting articles about game rules and their applications... There: http://www.facebook.com/ITTF.change.the.rules.or.made.them.apply What's your opinion? Julien

Hi, :) I think that ITTF should do apply rules, or should change them to make them apply : services, boosters, speed glue, prohibited pips ; some players applies, some others not => there is no longer equality. So, we have made a PETITION for it. The link is on the facebook page, there ...

Is this restriction still in force? Is it of any good indeed?

Hi everyone, At the club i play at, there is this 1 long pips player that just keeps on pushing. When i play against him, he often serves short or long with no spin. When i loop, he just keeps his paddle still, blocking back with heavy back spin. When i push back, he will just push block to...
