Strategy

Hi Jeff and Alois,
I am starting to chop with short pips and I recently changed from both sides inverted rubbers. Any tips to helping me improve my game. Any match strategies? Thank you

Hi Rui,
The short pips will give you more control of the ball than the inverted rubber but not as much as you would get with long pips.
I think if you are using short pips you can also think about attacking and blocking with them.
