This channel prescribs the game with pips-out rubbers. On a professional level, there are many defenders with long and short pimples. Some attackers play with short pimples and occasionally some disturbing-players like Fabian Akerstrom are playing on a international stage. Many amateurs like me are playing with pips-out rubbers or Anti-rubbers and love these many opportunities with the coverings. Of course, I'm a big fan of this sport and train 3-4 times a week. Most recently, I have devoted myself to the game with the hardbat. I love this honest game without sponge and take part in the next season at national competitions in Switzerland. I hope you like my channel!
A couple of things that isn't common knowledge is that a chop with the inverted rubber doesn't give as much backspinn as a chop with the rubber with longpips. We can see Habesohn struggle a bit with the spin variation between these separate sides. Hebesohn first loops hard on two forehand chops from Jo, and then he loops right into the net on Jo's backhand chop. Strange one would think... but it ins't, the spin variation does that And also.... when the offensive player loops one time, two times, three times in a row... the spin the longpips generates builds up and get more, and more, and moore backspin until it isn't longer possible for Habesohn to loop. He will have to brake off with a chop himself to bring this spin accumulation to a halt.
Very special rubber. I can attack underspin shots with ease and the control is superb, specially when pushing the balls to set up my attacking forehand. Good review.
Seo has to learn to be more tactical. Shan (PH/SP) attacked most comfortably in the step-around position, and yet Seo keeps sending all of the shots there. Seo should've sent more chops to the deep forehand to wear down Shan physically. Also Seo's attacks lack surpise factor, being mostly moderately-paced loops instead of smashes or punches, which Shan is very comfortable blocking. The SP blocks are now flat and slow, and Seo has trouble dealing with them. Seo should've stuck to solid defense to Shan's deep/wide forehand. She did this occasionally but distracted herself too much with whatever else she just wanted to do.
