long pips or not?
Equipment
Matt Pender Unknown Asked 16 years ago
Hi, I am starting out playing table tennis and have found that I am a very aggressive looper. However, when I do need to defend, I use the chop. I am considering using long pips but am questioning whether or not I should because I am worried they will take away some offensive capabilities. If i do use it though, I will have one sheet of long pips and another of high-speed rubber. Most likely with a carbon blade.

Hi Matt,
If you haven't been playing for very long I would stick to normal rubber on both sides. Once you develop control and if you still feel like you a defensive on the forehand, then you can think about changing to the long pimples on the backhand. This will help with the control, but it is important to develop touch and feel first. The long pimples will not allow you to learn this properly.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
