Since I own a shop, a lot of people move from inverted for reason more than your 2%/other than "cannot execute stipulated strokes properly".
where did you pull that 98% number out of?
is this a Greek thing?
Short articulation about me and Short Pips as a lifelong 2x inverted offensive player.
When I got my start in Korea for TT, after year one I slapped on sum cheap Chinese pips on BH and gave it a go at the club in free play... not even 5 minutes expired before I ripped those SP off my BH and tossed it in the trash wishing I could use a flame thrower to totally destroy any evidence I even TRIED to use SP.
Now in 2024, on a whim I got sum cheep Chinese SP (Gambler SP) and tried it out in free play... after two shots, I discovered I could open with consistency, receive serves, hit, and spin as well... but not as heavy as inverted.
This weak, LDM7 got sum SP to try (Spinlord Warran III) for his BH, he could spin too (yes not as much as inverted) and get me to block so he could have options on next ball... the exact purpose of a Bh opener.
I took his bat and for 10 shots in a row I was a boss of BH on every possible shot. I promptly ordered 4 sheets of Warran III and I will further goof off with them. I believe that with just one week using them, I could play my level.
Advantage of SP is that I can make all the shots I do with inverted, it is MORE controllable on some of the shots (serve receive, block vs spin and pace and hit through spin) and a little less controllable (spin shots with a bigger impact or swing)... but all in all I can play right away with them and be even more lethal in some rallies.
SP gunna be sum big fun in the next few months.
Those are my trouble making reasons for trying SP on my BH... I already chop with LP to offensive players to train them vs choppers.
