Carbon blade for long pips

[pdxpong]

This may be a silly question but I've never played with pips before and would like to try chopping with long pips. I have many blades but they are all carbon offensive blades. I would prefer not to buy a new blade for the long pips as it's just experimental. Is chopping with long pips doable with a carbon blade? It seems like most choppers use slower all wood blades.

Also, of the current blades that I have which do you think would be the best to use for chopping with long pips?

-Timo Boll ALC
-Viscaria
-Xiom AZX
-Tibhar Kinetic Speed
-Stiga Dynasty Carbon
-DHS HL5
-Viscaria Super ALC
-Zhang Jike SZLC

Thanks for your input

your best bet might be dynasty carbon? I've seen a 2k player somewhat emulate a xu xin style with, chopping and etc... However most of these blades are considered fast with relatively shorter dwell time as compared to something that is all wood.

The idea of an all wood blade is that it has more dwell and more effective on spin reversal, while carbon is the opposite- less dwell, more speed.

DHS 08X is the only blade I can name out of the top of my head that IS a defensive carbon.

DHS 08X is not a defensive carbon blade at all, way too much fast, it's faster than the Butterfly Gionis Carbon ALL+, I'd rather pick that one for an allround modern defensive game, and it's affordable. The blades you own don't fit in a defensive long pips game, way too much fast ones.

The good thing is defensive blades are much more affordable compared to offensive ones with carbon. If you can find one that is already used on the secondhand market, it's a good way to try the right blade that would cost pennies only...

I know someone who plays with Long Pips on a Michael Maze .. He's a high-level club player.. Plays mostly close to table, but will move away and chop, occasionally ..

Another club-m8 plays with LP on a Timo Boll ALC. She's more of a push-blocker...I

Also know of a club-level double-inverted chopper, who plays with a Timo Boll ALC

From the options you've mentioned, you could try a 0.5mm - 0.7mm sponged LP on the Timo Boll ALC...

This one could be spot on?

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into it.

@pdxpong did you ever get around to testing any of your blades with LP?

Recently, in one of the WTT youth tournaments, I saw a young Indian girl playing with D.tecs on a Xiom AZXi blade.. The D.tecs was on the Z side..

Nooooo! Get a stiff but nut too fast wood blade.

 

[senthilprakash]

Get any 7 ply off+ blade which will give high dwell time.

 

[senthilprakash]

DHS301 has very very thin ALC layer and because of this has high dwell and you can chop with rubbers like Grass.

 

[merlin el mago]

There different kind of long pips rubbers depending how you want to play defensive, isn't the same close to the table block & chop-block or mid-far from the table always chopping, so depending how do you want to play you have to choose the right blade & the right long pips.

08X is defensive blade. Does what says DHS and it used by many choppers

None of this blades can be used for chopping. you need defensive blade. Most popular Victas Koji Matsushita, Diode V, 08X

I guess for classical defensive far from the table, not OK to play defensive close to the table....

OP said he wants to chop. Chopping is only far from table

 

[merlin el mago]

Ok, but you can chop using a block-chop close to the table and also mid far from the table.

 

[Tyce]

Just curious, but not HL5? Especially an older version with thinner core might actually work.

Chopping and chop-block it's different styles. With blades op listed impossible to chop but blocking close to table OK. But again OP said he wants to chop. He didn't say something about blocking close to table

 

[merlin el mago]

If you ask me I think not need to go to carbon blades because with 5 layes of stiff wood or 7 layers of wood is enough to play classical defense chop with this slow and big ball.
