When you guys perform your backhand over the table flip vs short pure side-spin serves, do you care or take into account if you are going with or against the grain of the spin? Does it matter to you? Do you care? Do you perform the same stroke regardless? What are your thoughts on this...

Back to experimenting with the pips here... currently, I am looking for a pip that is very good at attacking pushes/chops, using the relative "flat" stroke. I have been using anti/LP and really liked that aspect of them, as I don't have much of a loop. However, I'm thinking of going to a MP or...

Hey! I am looking for a new backhand rubber. I have a somewhat controlled looping game with lots of spin. I am looking for a rubber with more spin than I have currently (IQUL), but still with a lot of control. Also, something not too expensive. Should I go for a tackier chinese style rubber, or...
