If I'm going to use short pips , what rubber would you recommend ? How about the long pips ?
Hi Patrick,
I don't have a preference. Others may be able to share their experiences.

It depends on the style of game you want to play and how you want to win your points.
Of course this is just a generalisation, but SP are easier to control than LP, though its somewhat more susceptible to incoming spin (though both are less susceptible than regular inverted rubbers). Generally people who use SP are close-to-the-table aggressive players. They attack with short sharp strokes that hit fairly flat and right through incoming spin. LPs are very slow (generally speaking) so it's usually (but not always) used by defensive players. It also is better at controlling heavy spin so it's the favourite of choppers. You can also use LP as close to the table blockers and even attack with it - but it's a risky tactic.

If I'm an all around player , what would I use ? Short pips , long pips or would you prefer a ,medium pips ?

I prever to use normal rubber for the forehand and the backhand because to can do every attack and deffed stroke and easy to control it

Hi Patrick,
Out of those choices I would use a short pimple.

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
Yes short on the forehand side would be fine if you are going to attack fast and flat.
