No, because serve/receive is very technically difficult. You have to work for it, unlike someone who just uses some anti or LP, which is just lazy and ugly....
i would say that people who don't train with their equipment are easily beatable. i mean nothing dangerous happens if you do nothing with an anti or with pips. it just becomes dangerous if they know what they are doing and have a gameplan to get to the strokes they want, same like players with grippy rubbers
I am not talking about the entire game, but simply serve receive.
Correct, those rubbers dont feel unfair to play against. I can serve all my sidespin serves without the fear that the sidespin will be used against me in a bad way.
i don't really understand, i mean you know what LP is doing to your serve, so you know what comes back and then you know what to do against, so what is the difference to playing a grippy rubber? and if you have problems to play a third ball on the different sidespin you are used to, why not just play a different serve then? i mean any other player could have a nasty receive with grippy rubbers you never encounterd on your serve before and you would need to adapt in a game situation, so i don't see the difference here
When other players have a nasty receive with grippy rubbers, it is not playing around with your mind like what LP does. It is not easy to adjust your mind to treat a ball as counterclockwise when you just saw a clockwise movement from your opponent. With some pips it is worse because they can selectively choose to reverse the spin or not. So it can either be clockwise or anticlockwise lol... cant play with that shit around.
Yeah but your pendulum doesn't have the kind of sidespin action that we are talking about here. But I agree, it is possible to serve anything to pips and attack the return, it is just that people who serve sidespin without some practice have no hope of figuring out how the attack the return without chucking a boatload of points into the Nile and open themselves up to sidespin balls kicking on their side of the table from the pip return.
Yeah that is a heavy underspin/no spin serve combo, not a FH sidespin pendulum serve lol. If you look at true sidespin pendulum, the variation is generally from sidetopspin to sideunder, very rarely no spin. And it is the kind of sidespin that can make the ball exit at 90 degree angle to the sideline if you serve it wide.
Yes it is easy because I also play LP penhold with my offhand for fun. Serve receive with LP is the easiest shit ever.
They cant generate much spin anyways, all they do is manipulate your spin.
