How to play against BH short pips players?

[pingpongpaddy]

Short pips aren't very good at actually reversing the spin. They are good at rolling back spins to be your top spin. In other words, getting back chopped balls and back spin pushes shouldn't be too much of a problem

Not all SP are the same. There is a lot of difference between 802 and 802-40. 802-40 can generate some spin. 802 mostly just kills spin but can still roll back spin..

When playing against a SP player, keep the ball low and deep. The ball will bounce up only about 80% of the height of the ball at its highest point. If the ball is lower than the top of the net, the SP player will need to hit the ball up to get it over the net and not too fast to keep it from going off the table. The Magnus effect will be low so the SP player will be relying mostly on gravity to land the ball on the table.

Top spin loops are effective if you keep the ball low. The top spin should cause the ball to jump out low and fast after the bounce.

My Tuesday practice partner plays with 802-40 1.8 mm on his BH. His killing shot are flat hits that have little if any arc but are low, deep and fast to my BH.

If you try the modern tensor sp like Moristo (nittaku) you'll find that 802 and 802 40 are totally out of date in comparison. Moristo allows you to play a modern topspin game with genuine power and spin.

The level of difference between Moristo and 802.40 is akin to the difference between say stiga original and mark v say
And yet the modern sp though supercharged still has a genuine sp feel to it
