haha awesome. Great video. I used to chop a lot with my long pips and those loopers would always slammed back so easy. I thought that long pips were worthless until I started just hitting the ball nice and straight with no chop low to the net and something amazing happend, The slammers kept hitting the net. They were so frustrated. I loved every minute of it, Don't get discouraged with long pips. Get a blade that has a big sweet spot and just hit the ball gently as low as you can.
I've been playing smooth rubber both sides 3-4; just started with pips and as a beginner, hated playing against it; now I love it. Fits my natural receiver skills, helps my weaker backhand and sets up my very strong FH....can't wait to develop my skills more with it
I have played against him around 1995, we had to go until 21 to win the set.....I lost 21-1; 21-2.......🥴. I made one point, he made two mistakes...I thought I was a good player...😂
By the way, I haven't used alot of different rubber/blade combinations yet, but I liked DHS c8 with sponge and Grass D-tek without, but really depends too on the blade it is on; any recommendations....I'm probably an all around player; I have a carbon (too fast blade) and a Stiga All plus, but I'd perhaps like an all wood good control blade that would suit the LP on my BH and any recommendations for a tacky FH rubber?
It's not that easy to beat these players. I hate this kind of play and I can play 1000 times and I'll lose every time... Also playing with a long pips as well as this guy requires hours and hours of training.
The biggest advantage for long pips players is that conventional players lack experience against long pips. By the time they figure it out its often too late.
