Coaches,

i want to use pips (med/long) on one side of my racket and inverted on the other. What type of blade can you recommend to me that is good for pips. Is it a blade with more speed? Or more control? is it a blade with hard wood? Or soft wood?

Hi Patrick,

I like a slower softer bat to be able to feel the ball especially with the long pimples on the backhand.

That is true.  It is more Table Tennis language.
